Sprekend Nederland

The state of the country on the basis of wedding speeches, funerals and meetings. Despite all the affluence, an image looms of a country in a state of moral confusion. What exactly are we afraid of?

A portrait of the Netherlands on the basis of wedding speeches, party meetings, funerals, public manifestations, political rallies and protest marches. The documentary captures the spirit of the times and shows a country is divided into all sorts of clubs and subcultures. It is a country that, despite all its blessings, lives in fear and moral confusion. But what exactly are we afraid of? A kaleidoscope of scenes confronts the viewer, disconcertingly and sometimes touchingly, with this and other questions and moral issues.
