synopsis

When Daniel Van den Berg is mistakenly declared dead in the pension system his monthly income dries up and he struggles to make ends meet. To prove that he is still alive, Daniel has to take all sorts of absurd steps. But what seems like a simple matter of collecting the required documents and making a case becomes increasingly irritating. Daniel just wants to be heard, but it seems no one in the bureaucracy really wants to help him. Despite this exhausting paperwork, Daniel does not give up. But will he succeed in proving that he is still alive?
Daniel van den Berg wordt onterecht doodverklaard in het pensioenstelsel en krijgt geen pensioen meer. Om te bewijzen dat hij nog leeft moet hij allerlei absurde stappen ondernemen. Maar wat een eenvoudige zaak lijkt van het verzamelen van de vereiste documenten en het maken van een dossier wordt steeds irritanter. Daniel wil alleen maar gehoord worden, maar het lijkt erop dat niemand hem echt wil helpen in de kantoren van het overheidsgebouw. Ondanks al het uitputtende papierwerk geeft Daniel niet op. Zal hij erin slagen te bewijzen dat hij niet dood is?
