Acting
The 22-year-old Splinter guides the viewer through the Hague jungle. From the Little Tower to the secret corridors of the Binnenhof, Splinter opens doors that normally remain closed. He also visits politicians precisely at moments when they are truly being themselves. For instance, he reads newspapers in the café with Mark Rutte, jogs with Rob Jetten, and practices yoga with Sylvana Simons. During his expedition, he speaks with political heavyweights, cunning spin doctors, celebrated journalists, and well-known activists. What does power do to you? Can you be yourself in politics? And does the Binnenhof still have idealists?
Mark Rutte is followed in his final months as prime minister. He looks back on more than 13 years of leadership and gives a rare glimpse behind the scenes. What do his busy days look like? How does he come to decisions? And what drives him? There are also conversations with (former) politicians and friends.
