People. Young and old, fat and thin, black and white. Sand, sea, wind and clouds, a day at the beach. In the background, the decor of ships entering and leaving port. Ego and vanity, machismo, insecurity and unconditional love, brought together on a small stretch of land. Don't Catch My Face is an ode to life.

The story of the cultural life in Rotterdam around 1980. In particular, the punk scene does not go unnoticed. The television broadcasting (VPRO) during that time led to strong reactions and severe criticism. Now it is a unique document of a turbulent time, with a direct movie style.
