Bikkel (2008)

Very open and very frank, the mother (Marjan), sister (Mirjam), father (Fred), former lover (Valerie), and an old friend with the same medical condition as Bart (Kees Jan) and, via archive audio, Bart himself, talk about the life and drive of the late TV host, founder and former chairman of Dutch public broadcasting association BNN, Bart de Graaff. They talk about how he admired comic-book hero Tintin and late race-car driver Ayrton Senna, about his parents' divorce and its consequences for teenage Bart, and about how the arrival of his girlfriend Valerie upset his mother. The main theme is everything Bart had to go through because of his kidney failure and other diseases. Everybody agrees he's a real go-getter--to say it in Dutch, a real "bikkel."
