Gina Kranendonk

Charming and versatile frame story about two ladies who interview people in Rotterdam for a year, visit people or go into town for the day.

Rotterdam, een ongemakkelijk sprookje, 

main programme features

Rotterdam, een ongemakkelijk sprookje

A frame narrative about a curious bunch of Rotterdammers and the 'fairy-tale' of their lives. This is the story of two women and the people and things they encounter. Interviews with a high percentage of nonsense, credibly acted scenes, coincidence, dry humour and erotic elements: this Rotterdam does not bore for a moment!
