Een man is vrijwillige adjunct-conducteur op een museumtrein en oefent voor het examen stoker/hulpmachinist. En ja, dan komt er een meisje bij.

Het schudt hem zodanig door elkaar dat hij uit zijn cocon moet komen.

Het ontwaken gaat niet zonder slag of stoot.

Uiteindelijk brengt de liefde tussen hem en de machine hem het echte leven binnen.

All the sawmill’s forest is lost in devastating fires. After years of drought, a period of torrential rain breaks out. The barren slopes no longer hold water, and a black tidal wave rages through the river valley.

Eleven-year-old Mindra and her invalid grandmother are the last inhabitants of a village near the abandoned sawmill, high on the mountainside.

She rescues some survivors, who become her new family.

The world is tipping and they must make it on their own.

A child runs away from the funeral of her mother. A father she does not know.

A lonely man brings her food and they become friends.

She personifies an inheritance more fatal than the incriminating information her late mother hid somewhere. A foreign secret service is on her trail.

What do you do with sudden, uncontrollable outbursts of energy? Theo went cycling.

Just as lonely as working from home, but at least while cycling there was a landscape passing by.

A near collision earned him a cycling buddy. This will be something...

Sixties. Netherlands. An artists commune in an old castle.

The children live a completely enclosed life of their own, never leaving the estate, without television, radio or newspapers. Hanny, the gardener and Trude, the cook take care and teach them chores in the kitchen and work in the garden. Dries and the immense library are their teachers in basic skills and art at their own little school.

Trude’s son Budi, beautiful, highly gifted, classic soprano and inexhaustible, grows up uninhibite...

Tramps.

How can it come to this with anyone anyway?

Usually it originates with bad luck. When there is no one to help you and you panic, bad luck stacks bad luck and you lose everything. Addicts, old people who can no longer keep up with the times, single people who are evicted because of debts. There are also children among them.

Isolated fringe figures, of whom we sometimes catch a glimpse in a

corner of the eye. Because invisibility is a survival strategy.

Sometimes something happens...
