    • Synopsis
    • DELILAH (17) and MELANIE (17) are best friends. They have been since they were little. Melanie is everything Delilah wishes she was and vice versa. Constantly balancing the tightrope of mutual jealousy and deep admiration, the girls now find themselves all grown up, and at a crossroads that will inevitably separate them. Delilah has big dreams for the future. Melanie doesn’t believe she has one. Even though Melanie’s depression seemed more of a running gag than a disease during puberty, the diagnose now seems to be taking up more and more space in the lives of both girls. Delilah decides to rescue Mel from this invisible enemy. Or in at least one sense of the word, save her.
      SAVE IT is part of the second part of the stand-alone tv-series "Onze Straat II" in collaboration with broadcaster NTR.
