Mother Marit feels that her son’s primary school does not allow him enough room for his male energy. During the parent-teacher meeting, she seeks recourse. Miss Yvonne tries to keep up a professional attitude, but after the umpteenth reproach she can no longer restrain her pent-up frustration. The exasperation of a teacher who has had to endure countless changes through the years is embodied with explosive rage by Yvonne, in this brutal comedy with finger paint.

Fred lives on his own. His wife is dead, his son has left. He leans on the church, busses, meat-and-two-veg. Then Leo appears. Leo is a tramp. Fred lets Leo move in with him. An absurdist feature debut with a laugh and a tear in stuffy Netherlands.
