Quote #10
"Maybe she sees him through rosy spectacles now, after all these years. Sarah too. But something big happened between them then. Something true. Something existed which wasn't a fantasy. They haven't made it up. You can't deny that." (21.47)
Jacob says this to Daan about Geertrui's relationship with Jacob, but we're not sure Daan is convinced. The truth is a funny thing, and it's often different things to different people. For Sarah and Geertrui, the truth is that Jacob was an amazing guy, but Daan isn't convinced.
