            When little Albert was six, he spent a lot of time with his 12-year-older Aunt Tini who also confided in him. He was often allowed to join his aunt in bed where she told him racy stories. Little Albert was a witness to the amusing quest for a suitable husband for Tini.When she married Koos from Breda, the wedding reception got out of hand. During the party, Koos heard rumors and made a huge fuss that brought the reception to an early end. The honeymoon was canceled too and Koos demanded a fertility test. The test made it clear that Koos is infertile; at least, according to Tini who herself fetched the test results from the hospital.They end up having a barren marriage without children and Albert becomes her substitute son. Tini becomes bitter and during family events in the years that follow she rants against her parents, her sister Hanny (Alberts mother), the church and hypocrisy. When in the free 1970s Albert is a student and looks up to his still childless aunt, he ends up in bed with her. The clumsy fondle ends unsatisfactorily, partly because Tini is very secretive about the past.Albert becomes a celebrated playwright and his fascination with and love for his aunt turn to annoyance. Just when Albert calls his aunt to order at another family event, Tini finally explains what happened to her when she was fifteen. Her fathers best friend Nico van Dartel was protagonist in this tragedy and Hanny, her sister, played a fatal supporting role. When Tini has told her story, everyone is left devastated.
After the last revelation, Tini is struck dumb. In the hospital, the doctors cant find any medical cause for her silence. The 69-year-old Tini speaks one more sentence to Albert indicating that the bond between nephew and aunt has been restored and showing that she hasnt lost her sense of humor.
