Tonio is the Dutch submission for the 2017 Oscars.
Based on the autobiographical novel by Dutch writer A.F. Th. van der Heijden, which was released exactly a year after the death of his son Tonio in 2010. Actor Pierre Bokma's character Adri is based on the writer (down to the first name and hairstyle), and van der Heijden's real-life wife is also called Mirjam (played by Rifka Lodeizen).
