Lei, descendant of an unemployed coal miner, is an aimless man in his fifties, living a hand to mouth existence. When Lei's son Jeffrey discovers that Lei has a long-drawn debt with Vester, a charismatic crime boss, he does what every loving son would do: He reckons his father's debt as his own. Son of Mine (original title: Gluckauf) is a gripping social drama about the oppressive relationship between a father and a son, who as modern outlaws struggle to survive, in the neglected southern Dutch province of Limburg. Son of Mine is the first artistic feature film of director Remy van Heugten. The story is based on Remy's personal experiences, who grew up in this pittoresk, yet poor region of the mostly rich Netherlands. A place where the social and economical consequences of the closing of the coal mines, many years ago, are still very much felt. (Cinemax)

The gloominess and destruction in a small Dutch town aren’t completely out of place here. In fact, I finished the movie thanks to that, which isn’t common for me. Usually, I struggle with finishing similar European dramas with a similar atmosphere. But I had a problem not only with the son but especially with the father. Whatever the father did, he always acted as if he had just finished a bottle of cyanide. Fortunately, the interesting locations made up for the nonsense and unrealistic nature. Who would have thought that there would ever be an area in the Netherlands where people aren’t as rich as the average Western European?
