Plot

Bert Haanstra paints a portrait of The Netherlands and the Dutch, in his own unparalleled manner. Partly with the aid of a hidden camera he observes people in the most diverse situations.

Sinekatalog’s take

A portrait of the Dutch and their country, assembled partly with a hidden camera that catches people in all manner of situations. Wry, humane and often funny, it holds up as a gentle social observation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
