UNEXPLAINABLE (2010)

Half a million people in the Netherlands suffer from unexplained physical complaints. They feel ill, but according to physicians there is nothing wrong. Often, after receiving extensive medical treatment, they are often told that it is all in their head. But someone who feels miserable wants recognition and confirmation.

‘Unexplainable?’ is a documentary by Patrick Bisschops about pianist Rick van Hek, who goes on a search for the cause of his sudden unilateral paralysis for which the specialists in the hospital can’t discover a physical explanation.

Unexplainable is a production of Selfmade Films in coproduction with NCRV. This documentary is made with the support of the Dutch Cultural Media Fund.
