A kaleidoscopic look at present-day Holland. While at times confrontational, the film takes a witty look at the emotional dilemmas, fears, expectations and misunderstandings that exist in a multicultural society. A host of characters, both funny and serious, are observed. All represent some layer of Dutch society: a beautiful upper class girl sets out to meet a ‘real’ immigrant, a filmmaker tries to make a film about the fate of asylum-seekers and fails spectacularly, a Moroccan-Dutch army sergeant searches for true love, and a young homeless shelter assistant seeks happiness outside the familiar ground of her family and her workplace.
