Buurman wil nieuwe schutting, maar Willem heeft geen geld: ‘Gewoon geen budget’
In a small village in the Netherlands, Willem, a retired man, has been worrying about a fence for weeks.
His neighbor, with whom he has always gotten along well, wants to replace the old fence between their yards. What seems like a simple decision, turns out to be a big dilemma for Willem.
For twenty years, Willem has lived in his modest house with a small garden. The house was his pride for many years, the result of hard work. “When my wife and I moved here, a dream came true,” Willem explains.
But much has changed after the passing of his wife. He increasingly feels lonely and struggles with maintaining his house.
Meanwhile, his neighbor, a young father of a growing family, is actively improving his home.
“With young children, you naturally want everything to be safe and tidy,” Willem understands. The fence between the two yards is old and worn out.
