- De Dijk has toured the Netherlands for almost 30 years. From Nijeveen to Bergen op Zoom, from Weert to Broek op Langedijk. In almost unchanged composition, this band has been able to bind an ever-wider audience. They grew up together and made each other better by working together in a unique way. While for the outside world Huub van der Lubbe is the face of the band, the band is mainly a collective inside: everything is jointly decided. The documentary shows the year in which they release their first international album Hold on Tight and which would be crowned with a performance with Solomon Burke in Paradiso. It is different - the morning of his arrival in Amsterdam, Solomon Burke dies at Schiphol. De Dijk is devastated: they lose a friend, but also a possible international dream is shattered.

From New Mexico to Congo via Japan, Snake Dance offers a compelling reflection on the Promethean dimensions of nuclear power.
- Actors are overly self-conscious, unsure of themselves, affected, vain and always thinking about their image. The are never 'real' . Documentary makers have a swearword: ' Actor!', for in a documentary people should be 'real' and not acting. But is this really true? What is 'real'? And if 'acting' is not real, what is its impact on the actor's psyche? 'It does not leave you unaffected', says Hans Kesting in this film. At the 25th anniversary of Toneelgroep Amsterdam documentary-filmmakers Paul Cohen and Martijn van Haalen made a film about acting as a profession. The follow the rehearsals for the play Husbands, based on the John Cassavetes film. And during the filming process they realize that their own job bears some uncanny resemblance to professional acting.

- For more than thirty years, the coffee shop has been the international model of tolerance and lenience in the Netherlands. Nobody is penalized here for using soft drugs. But the production nederwiet (Dutch skunk) is still prohibited. The result is an equally hilarious and worrisome cat-and-mouse game played by growers, coffee shop owners, organised crime, police and judges at the backdoor of coffee shops. Filmmakers Maaik Krijgsman and Hans Pool decide to start growing marijuana at home. Their ill-fated enterprise is entertaining to watch. But the stories of the hemp grower, the seller of growing equipment and the coffee shop owner they do business with are sobering. The stricter police policy forces up the price, which paradoxically only fuels the interest of heavy criminals. The idealist hippie era is over. Nederwiet shows all sides of the nederwiet business: from police raids of home growers and visits to large-scale nurseries to a musician who tries to end his weed addiction.
