By alternating documentary with fiction, a portrait is drawn of Peter van Straaten, eminent draughtsman of political cartoons, the long-term Parool serial Agnes and a countless series of painfully comical sketches of everyday life. Interviews with Van Straaten - outside, at home and at work - smoothly merge with dramatised excerpts from Agnes (played by people like Renée Fokker, Pierre Bokma and Hans Kesting). 'That's me, dressed up as a woman', he says about this creation. The camera peeks over his shoulder when Van Straaten makes his black-and-white drawings with pen and ink. His humour is harsh; he draws people in all their spinelessness, sadness and dishonesty, with a remarkable eye to facial expressions and postures. Through his drawings and stories, he also talks about his personal experiences with alcohol, relationships, family, health and sex - and his lifelong love for birds in the open field.
When Louise (70) and Max (72) meet, it is love at first sight: they abandon their sleepy lives and travel to the South of France, where they become the terrors of the 'Route du Soleil'. They rip off naïve tourists with their act as a sad old couple: a second youth that goes further than their wildest dreams. Based on a true story.
Mrs. Van Tilt
В этой истории смешалось все – страсть, секс, насилие и абсурд. А главным героем, центром всех событий стало обычное платье. Рисунок ткани для него придумал дизайнер-неудачник, модельер нарисовал простенький фасончик, и платье появилось в магазине, где его и купила одна из женщин. Но дама недолго радовалась обновке - она умерла. Платье улетает с порывом ветра, чтобы продолжить свой жутковато-мистический путь - оно становится фетишем маньяка-проводника, причиной увольнения и разрушения судьбы чиновника с фабрики. Окончание "жизни" платья символично - оно испепеляется в пламени крематория вместе с бомжихой, которая украла наряд, прельстившись золотыми листьями...
