Tragicomic portrait of two brothers from Amsterdam aspiring to a career in popular music. Jordan sings, Joop writes.
The brothers Jordan (24) and Joop (28) are two purebred Jordanezen sharing an apartment on the fourth floor in the heart of the old Jordaan neighbourhood in Amsterdam. For years, they have been trying to launch a career in popular music. Jordan sings, Joop is the manager and songwriter. Despite many rejections and disappointments, they will not stop trying to realise their ultimate dream. When they finally finish their first single, they are convinced it could herald their definitive breakthrough. A tragicomic documentary, shot on VHS, with a 1990s dressing.
