Robrecht Vanden Thoren | Best Before

What to expect

The story follows Robrecht as his girlfriend wants a child and they are about to take that step.

Robrecht seems fine apart from his receding hairline: he has a job, a girlfriend and a life that runs smoothly.

He feels unrest because the world around him races.

He also doubts love itself, because he falls in love easily and wonders if he can keep it up in the storm.

The future feels shaky, and he may throw everything overboard tonight.

• Robrecht looks at his loved one.
• She wears headphones, thumb on the screen.
• She is probably looking for baby items.
• The last strip is out of the packaging.
• The hormones are finding their rhythm.
• Life is ready for the next step.
• War, climate and unhinged people trouble him.
