the children's novel Afblijven by Carry Slee. The film, much like the

has on their lives.The film received a Golden Film (100,000

ballet lessons, to please her strict father, while she is in fact a
hip hop dancer. She is given the opportunity to audition for
background dancer in a video clip, but grows uncertain of her
abilities. A newly met friend, Jim, gives her XTC, which enhances her
performance. She is then selected to be in the music video. Her close
friends Jordi and Fleur watch as Melissa becomes dependent on both XTC
and Jim, who is now her new boyfriend, but can't convince Melissa she
is making a wrong turn. At the music video shoot, Melissa fails to
perform as well as she did before due to a lack of XTC and leaves the
set. She has a fight with Jim and disappears soon after.As Jordi tries
to find Melissa, she calls him and states she will be fine and she'll
be at her "house" tonight. As the call was cut off, Jordi grows even
more concerned and figures out where Melissa will be as he finds a
poster announcing a "house party" the same night. Hoping to find
Melissa, Jordi attends the house party, only to see Melissa being
treated by paramedics and taken to the hospital in critical state.
Melissa ends up in a coma while Jordi finds out contaminated XTC pills
were what caused her to collapse at the house party. After Melissa
wakes up from her coma, Jordi convinces himself something needs to be
done and enlists the police in order to arrest Melissa's boyfriend
Jim. It is revealed Jim distributed the contaminated pills. Jordi then
finds it difficult to become romantically involved with Melissa, but
ultimately gives in. Keep Off Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
