Stricken (Dutch: Komt een vrouw bij de dokter) is a 2009 Dutch drama film directed and produced by Reinout Oerlemans and based on the book by the same name by writer Ray Kluun.
[1] Stijn (Barry Atsma) is a rich, handsome, and self-centered advertising executive who lives in a hedonistic world.
He has a successful career and a loving marriage with Carmen (Carice van Houten).
He supports her, but as it can sometimes be difficult, he will often go between meeting with Roos (Anna Drijver), with whom he has a tempestuous affair, and lying to Carmen.
She commits physician-assisted suicide by drinking a poison provided by a physician (Sacha Bulthuis).
