Een soort Engeland

David Oosterbaan, a stage actor admired for losing himself in part after part, is at a breaking point when a hospital calls: Laura, the daughter he abandoned as a baby three decades ago, has overdosed on heroin. He takes it on himself to rescue her, trailing her through grim bars and dealers' flats while barely in touch with the real world himself. His career unfolds in flashbacks, and a cryptic city welfare officer named Brian walks beside him at the end.
