Emma believes she has everything in order: a successful career, a fulfilling relationship, and a stable life. That changes when she unexpectedly ends up in a psychiatric ward. What begins as a mistake becomes a confronting journey through vulnerability, control, and self-perception.
Reception
Editor Floortje Smit from De Volkskrant gave four of five stars to the film. Smit wrote, "Paaz is a warm, not-quite-too-cheerful film about psychological problems. Actress Gaite Jansen strikes exactly the right tone as the patient Emma."
