Lou is 12, Eva 36, Elsie 42, Casper 46, and Jos 71. Five interconnected individuals share their stories. They speak of unexpected joys that complicate life, secrets that seem too vast, the intricate art of growing up, and obstacles that become mountains, barely climbable. They continue to strive, reaching the limits of human endurance.

In Vele hemels boven de zevende, five diverse characters battle more with themselves than with each other in this existence, which is both ridiculously beautiful and wonderfully challenging at the same time.
