A middle-aged man finds himself face-to-face with his teenage bully on a remote hiking trail. Tempted by the opportunity for revenge, he must first decide whether his bully has redeemed himself. Darkly funny and deeply human, Die Ontmoeting explores masculinity and the lasting scars of schoolyard cruelty, while challenging our polarised narratives of victim and perpetrator, revenge and reconciliation, and nature versus nurture.
