In "Messed Up", we follow Cat, a thirty-something with a self-destructive behavior. With her best friend Yana, doing drugs and drinking hard in clubs before having unprotected sex with strangers is a regular Monday. Until Yana falls pregnant and leaves Cat to her demons. Now on her own, Cat will have to face a never addressed grief if she wants to come back to the surface.
The creator of the 6-part dramedy is Eva Crutzen. She wrote and directed the series and also plays the lead role of Cat. Messed Up won a Golden Calf at the Dutch Film Festival and was nominated for the prestigious Nipkow Award this year.
