Met o.a. de balk, de onderwaterscene en de zeilramp Bandkaai is het zesde theaterprogramma van de Rotterdamse theatermakers Martin van Waardenberg en Wilfried de Jong. De typische Waardenberg en de Jong aanpak isl in Bandkaai zeker weer te zien. Performance afgewisseld met miniatuurtjes van toneelspel. Grootse en wezenloze decorstukken. Schoonheid maar ook afbraak. Harde klanken naast stille beelden. Fysieke uitputting en tevens serene rust. Chaos en orde tegelijk. Waardenberg en de Jong zijn niet te vangen.

The three very different men in this film have become friends out of their common dissatisfaction with their lives. Beard is now more or less a street person since his wife left him. Before that, he was a social worker. "Foureyes" is a nebbish science teacher, who can't get anyone to take him seriously -- certainly not his students. He seeks solace in the quiet of the stars, which he views in his telescope at night. Finally, Gerdo is a fellow who is a master of many trades, successful at almost everything he does, except in his own eyes. Each new challenge proves unsatisfying when met. The only thing he wants is the one thing he can't bring about: the return of his old girlfriend, who left him for some boring civil servant. He sees her everywhere, and images of her haunt him constantly. (allmovie.com)
