Direct report of the national arrival of Sinterklaas that will take place this year in the municipality of Hellevoetsluis. Mayor Milène Junius will welcome the Good Saint and his Pieten in this fortified town on the Haringvliet.

Stage registration of the second comedy special by the Dutch comedian Eva Crutzen. Crutzen tells and sings, accompanied by Jerry Bloem, about her life as a thirty-something, surrounded by other thirty-somethings who desperately hide their mental issues.

For their annual trip, Lena -originally from Sweden- invites her close group of friends to a Frisian island to celebrate the Swedish Midsummer Night tradition. For the first time Meike, an outsider is invited. As with all friendships, in this thirty-something group of friends some secrets are shared, and others remain untold.

The Sinterklaasjournaal is the annual fictional news section in the context of the traditional Sinterklaas celebration of the NTR on Dutch television, showing what Sinterklaas experience everything. The format of the 'real' television news is imitated, where storylines are presented in fragments as reports.
