Plot
editHamelinck, an already old man, suffers from a severe muscle disease and must stop working. It bothers him not long, because he gets under the spell of his daughter-in-law Simone. He admired her for years already, but now overwhelms her with gifts and treats her like a queen. He acts also submissive and is delighted as he can touch her leg. Just before he dies, Hamelinck makes the wish to get Simone's footprints on his memorial stone.
