The short drama film ECHO is about Elsje, a mother who suddenly learns that her fourteen-year-old son is in a coma after drug use. While she desperately clings to who he was, she is confronted with who he really is and what she may have overlooked. ECHO is a raw, realistic film that stays close to the protagonist's inner world. Central to the story is the question: “What did I overlook as a parent?” In the film, we make use of the medium Snapchat, among others, to switch between the mother's world and that of her son, Julius.

We live in a time when substance use among young people is widespread: on the streets, online, and via social media. Behavior is also filmed, shared, and sometimes even encouraged, while supervision increasingly disappears. At the same time, danger lurks close at hand, yet parents seem to have less and less control over it. With this film, we therefore aim to contribute to raising awareness among parents/guardians regarding the stage of substance use that young people may already be in. Through this film, we want to encourage parents/guardians to engage in conversation with one another, to offer recognition, and to look for solutions together.
