Wilfried referred to himself as the 'one eyed king of the land of the blind'. This land is located in Merksplas prison in Belgium, where blind people are detained without treatment. Psychiatric offenders in Belgium are not responsible for their actions, but are separated from society. These criminal acts range from murder to stabbing bicycles. Due to the lack of beds in the psychiatric hospital, they were eventually imprisoned with no possibility of treatment and no end date. Their file mentions the release date: December 31, 1999. 9999 interweaves five different stories of these 'blind people' who are waiting; For comfort, for hope, for freedom, for change. The time between their two imprisonments was completely different from the time outside the prison walls. Time has disappeared. The only thing left is eternal confrontation; Fighting against their behavior and illness. There's nothing else. In this movie, we disappear behind the merciless closed door with the characters in need of treatment. We wait side by side.
