Visser

Jacob teaches history. One day in class he says something foolish, or at least awkward; what exactly is never disclosed, but the school suspends him over it. Once a reporter on the local paper hears of it, the timid teacher becomes, in print, the head of a neo-Nazi group. He barely registers the frenzy around him and keeps stumbling into bad choices, while the approaching wedding of his daughter Rosa revives memories of Lila, the daughter he lost as a small child.
