Jacques Overtoom

Collage-like depiction of the life of a man, in which the protagonist prefers intimate childhood memories over earthly gain. About the sound of new shoes, walks with dad and the smell of elm wood.

This film was made by Jacques Overtoom. Gerrit van Dijk only did executive work. The premiere was in January 1978 in the Haarlem Filmhuis Het Melkwoud. A larger cinema was not allowed to show films with certain content, by order of the Minister of Justice, Dries van Agt. There was a lot of commotion about this, the film reinforced that. The Minister was invited to the screening but said that 'unfortunately' he was unable to attend.

Film material from the forties found in a jumble sale adapted into a contemporary clip. An unknown female singer performs before the camera while (animated) people and animals parade by. The title alludes to the catering on the rainy Sunday afternoon when the film was conceived and made.
