The Flemish Scriptwriters’ Guild awarded its annual prize for Best Script this year to Oxygen, co-written by director Hans Van Nuffel and producer-screenwriter Jean-Claude Van Rijckhegem. Oxygen traces the experiences of young adults with cystic fibrosis and shows how they fight the disease, how they confront or embrace life, depending on their outlook.
