Storyline

Based on the autobiographical story of filmmaker Dries Meddens, ZAAD evokes society’s view on bipolar disorder. When his father dies, Dries begins to delve into his past. But the more he discovers, the less he can avoid the growing fear that his father’s psychiatric illness is hereditary, from grandfather to son to father. Is the germ in him? In his children? Through family archives, exchanges with a psychiatrist and his life as a stay-at-home dad, Dries searches for a way out of this possible genetic fatality.
