Harry Mulisch - Schepper van Zichzelf

It remained to be seen whether he was mortal, Harry Mulisch would sometimes say. But on October 30, 2010, he had to surrender to death after all. His study in Amsterdam has remained untouched since that day. It was there that he wrote classics such as 'The Bridal Bed of Stone', 'Two Women', 'The Assault', and 'The Discovery of Heaven'. What kind of person was Harry Mulisch? What was he like as a father and husband? Why did he have so much sympathy for Fidel Castro, and is it true that he loved dachshunds more than people? Ten years after Mulisch's death, director Coen Verbraak goes in search of the person behind the writer.
