Buiten is het Feest (Hidden in the Spotlight) is a feature length film based on the book Maar buiten is het feest by Arthur Japin. I was one of the assistant/junior editors on this film.

The successful singer Sonne takes in her niece after the unexpected death of her sister. Then the biological father claims custody. In order to protect her niece, Sonne is forced to break the silence and reveal all the details of her personal family drama in court; a drama in which this man played a highly questionable role. Inspired by true stories.
