Still from the film 'Mascotte'. Jerry, a white teenage boy, is standing on a Dutch beach with the dunes behind him. He's wearing a black sweater, a black cap and a black thick winter coat. He's got his hands in his pockets and he looks stern.

Still from the film 'Mascotte'. Jerry, a white teenaged boy, is on the left side of the shot with his back to the camera but looking back over his shoulder, threateningly. He's wearing his black coat and cap. In the background, on the right side of the shot but farther away, stands a middle aged white man with grey hair, wearing a black suit, looking kind of bewildered.

Mascotte (Mascot) is Remy van Heugten’s second feature film. I was one of the assembly editors.

 

At first glance, Jerry seems like a very normal teenager. He lives with his single mother and younger sister in a quiet coastal town and helps out at an institution for the mentally handicapped. But deep down, frustrations are bubbling within Jerry. Seeking an outlet for these frustrations, he participates in illegal hooligan fights. But when his mother, with whom he has a close relationship, chooses for herself and distances herself more from the family, something snaps. The more Jerry, partly due to social media, gets the idea that everything and everyone is against him, the harder it becomes to control his inner rage. His behavior becomes so radical that he endangers not only himself but the stability of the entire family.
