She used to host music shows on Dutch TV, but now she’s the figurehead of the political party BIJ1 ("Together"). As a woman of color who was born in Suriname but grew up in the Netherlands, she knows how it feels to be treated as a minority. Her outspoken style in fighting for a world in which everyone has equal rights and opportunities sometimes provokes extreme reactions, and her attackers have posted sinister death-threat videos on YouTube. We follow her in the three months leading up to the local elections, in which she's running for the Amsterdam City Council. During TV debates, interviews and discussions with opponents, we see Simons standing up for her opinions with a fascinating force of argument. But when she’s on her therapist's couch or at home in front of her well-filled walk-in closet, she shows her vulnerable side.

Three teenagers appear to have a lot of fun on the children's oncology department on the fourth floor of a large hospital. Nick and Iwan both lost a leg as a result of bone cancer. For their friend Olivier, an amputation may be the next phase. The fourth of the bunch, Pepijn, is so ill and weak that he often stays in his room. Friendship and a deep desire to live keeps the guys mentally balanced. Their friendship changes when Gina arrives. Sickos is a humorous drama that deals with adolescence and chemotherapy.

The bizarre story takes place in Amsterdam-West, where a virus turns people into bloodthirsty zombies. Although much blood is flowing and many limbs chopped off, there is a lot to laugh at in this bizarre horror comedy.

Documentário sobre a capital brasileira, a partir das observações de três personagens da cidade, em situações vividas num único dia: uma jovem estudante universitária, a mulher de um diplomata e um vendedor ambulante de espelhos. Usando como tema a vida e os encontros destas pessoas, outros personagens vão entrando em cena. Temas como a propalada solidão dos habitantes de Brasília, o excesso de seus espaços, as distâncias, a falta de praças, os modos de relacionamento e integração engendrados pela própria arquitetura vão sendo discutidos em vários segmentos. A utopia que guiou a própria construção de uma nova capital para o país, no final dos anos 50, é revista 36 anos depois, à luz da realidade.
