Interview with Carice van Houten & Mees Peijnenburg on “A Family”

For A Family, which looks at divorce through the eyes of a sister and her younger brother, putting their individual perspectives beside and opposite one another, director Mees Peijnenburg drew on his own experience of divorce as a kid. At the Berlinale, where his personal family drama debuts in the Generation section, the director and lead actress Carice van Houten open up about their collaboration, the universality they both see in this specific story, and the other chapters that didn't make it onto the screen.
