Acting
Two small town Dutch boys whose socially unnatural friendship is so close, they care nothing for human or divine rules and lose all grip on reality, sliding into violent crime.
Nothing is what it seems during this brief meeting in an empty night shop. When Claire has to carry out a silly assignment from her sorority, Hafid is standing behind the counter. The serious looking Amsterdam guy seems to give her a taste of her own medicine. The question soon arises who is manipulating who. One thing is certain: after those few minutes when the lives of these completely different people intersect, everything will be forever different.
In this 13-part history series, presenter Lisa Wade takes us back to World War II. From the occupation to the liberation, from the persecution of Jews to the NSB (Dutch Nazi Party), from the bombing of Rotterdam to the war in the Dutch East Indies.
Festival favorite Huub Smit (New Kids Nitro; New Kids Turbo; Bros Before Hos) stars as a Dutch cop raised on far too many American action films in this outrageous action comedy.
The balance between light and darkness is put to the test. In the aftermath of a war in the Middle East, an innocent Water Carrier falls victim to the violence, her tragic death sending ripples through time. Nima, an ex-soldier now living in Amsterdam, is tormented by guilt and fragmented memories. To find redemption, he must confront his past with the help of a mysterious Dream Machine-while Ahriman, the evil spirit of chaos, tempts Nima through his minion Linda, luring him into darkness. Centuries earlier, King Cyrus the Great battles Ahriman, setting into motion events that will resonate with Nima's journey across time. Their destinies are woven together, and only by facing their deepest fears can they restore the light.
