A documentary on a drunken night: the carnival of Bergen op Zoom, a ritual of dancing until dawn. Cinematographer Jan de Bont dances with the camera and captures colours that recall a Hollywood musical. With its irreverent references to Catholic devotion, this is a film that must be seen at all costs!
