The film tells the sad story of three friends living in the fishing village of Zeeuws. These three buddies live in a fantasy world to escape their cramped, monotonous everyday lives. With beautiful cinematography, wild music ranging from jazz to punk, great dialogues and sincere acting, shot in the style of 90s European cinema, this is a road movie that is both rebellious and exciting.
