Search Year (2025)

After graduating from a Dutch art academy, Chinese performance artist Nadh is given exactly one year to find a job—his "search year"—or he must leave the Netherlands. His rebellious nature brings him into conflict with Dutch bureaucracy and with himself. Director Joris Koptod Nioky follows Nadh and holds up a mirror to us: you can conform to the rules, but you can also question or reject them.
