The prolific Dutch director of experimental films, Pim de la Parra, here has crafted an improvisational satire on the process of making experimental films, and it is particularly aimed at the Dutch avant-garde. Filmed in black and white, the story puts a crew of unpaid actors and actresses together while they attempt to shoot a film in very few days with practically no budget and no script. Oddly, that is exactly the situation they were actually in. While the director's earlier uses of this formula met with some critical success, this one was received with considerably less enthusiasm.
