Lijn 32
A comic study of 20th-century history, reconstructing the life of writer, creator and professional prisoner Tulse Luper. Born in 1911 Newport and last heard of in 1989, Luper’s life is pieced together from the evidence found in 92 suitcases scattered across the globe. A Life in Suitcases condenses the six-hour trilogy into a single two-hour feature, and in doing so, accentuates the project as a filmic essay in multiple narratives, listings, sidebars, footnotes, commentaries and anecdotes; a project for an Information Age ready to understand that there never is a phenomenon called History, there can only be Historians, gatekeepers to vested interests.
A Life in Suitcases: A History of Tulse Luper
On a cold November day in 1983, beer magnate Alfred Heineken and his chauffeur Ab Doderer are abducted. What follows is the most infamous kidnapping case the Netherlands have ever known.

Kim and her Danish boyfriend start a desperate search for their baby, while simultaneously fleeing from the police. The story is followed through the countless recordings made by security cameras and through the eyes of Stan, a somewhat unworldly cameraman from a local broadcaster who is drawn into the adventure against his will.
