Spelen of Sterven (1990)
Een introverte vijftien-jarige schooljongen (Kees) is intelligent, ingetogen, gevoelig en een buitenbeentje. Hij wordt belachelijk gemaakt (verbaal en fysiek) op een jongens-school door klasgenoten en zelfs leerkrachten. Vooral tijdens gym moeten de stoere jongens uit de klas hem hebben. Zijn ontwakende seksuele interesse gaat uit naar jongens, en met name naar de fraai atletische klasgenoot Charel, de grootste bullebak van de klas.
Fifteen-year old school boy Kees (Geert Hunaerts) is introvert, intelligent, gentle, sensitive maverick, but physically and verbally ridiculed by his mindlessly cocky classmates and even insensitive teachers especially during gym class where his physical weakness is mercilessly abused to make him a defenceless laughing stock in front of his smirking peers. He is sexually interested in boys and in particular to his handsome athletic classmate Charel (Tjebbo Gerritsma) who is the biggest bully in his class.
SPELEN OF STERVEN which literally translates to "Games or Death" and titled TO PLAY OR TO DIE in English is a psychological teenage film (quite long for a short and too short to be classified as full-length) from the Netherlands based from an eponymous book. The acting department is remarkably compelling and the characters are appealing.
