In this short film Bert Haanstra gives his vision - from the water – of a tranquil Holland. During filming he held the camera upside down and afterwards put the images ‘up right’ again in the film.

However this did not devalue the Dutch sentiment regarding waterfronts that are so trusted to so many.
