De Man met de Hond (1999): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1999, De Man met de Hond is a komödie and drama film directed by Annette Apon, running about 85 minutes. “It's just me and my dog.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Kees (Ramsey Nasr) is a gently eccentric loner who takes his imaginary dog for a walk each evening and likes to listen in on his neighbors' conversations. He is lonely. He has no real family, as his father is dead and his mother is institutionalized. However, when the chronically unemployed Kees gets a job at a bank, many of his co-workers don't know what to make of him, and scarcely anyone talks to him -- until the day someone comments on a photo in his wallet. Though he doesn't actually know the woman in the picture, Kees tells them the woman in the photo is his girlfriend and starts spinning tales about their "relationship." Before long, Kees has invented an entire alternate personality and is stealing photos from others to fit the new "friends" and "family" he's created.

Who’s in it. De Man met de Hond stars Ramsey Nasr as Kees, Viviane de Muynck as Moeder, Monic Hendrickx as Petra and Nina Deuss as Addison, among others.
