The year is 2040. Large parts of the Netherlands have been flooded and millions of people have sought refuge in Limburg; the last refuge where everyone hopes for a new life as they knew it. But nothing is left to chance in this sanctuary. Doctor Frank (Bruno Vanden Broecke), the gene doctor, helps you find the ideal child with the best genes and brains. And Alecto (Angela Schijf), an all-controlling, self-learning artificial intelligence, is always helpful in all decisions. From lunch to love, it's best to leave your affairs to Alecto. This new world offers the perfect relationship with a partner exactly as we dream of him or her, and even the sex is better in virtual rooms. But how do you find your own way when everything is based on data, coincidence no longer exists and the role of humans seems to be becoming less and less important?

Love is the Word is a moving, romantic and funny coming-of-age drama about the magic of first love and the misery of first lost, set in 1978: the year 'Grease' hit the big screen.

Fred est un calviniste dévot, vivant simplement avec un mode de vie strict. Déçu par son fils, il l'a expulsé de la maison. Mais un jour, un jeune handicapé mental arrive dans sa vie. Il entreprend alors une deuxième vie de père, plus protecteur et aimant que jamais.

"I don't have much longer to live, son." In this alternately endearing and absurdist sketch, a bachelor desperately tries to fulfill his mother's last wish: to become a grandma.

With his familial bookshop on the verge of bankruptcy, Simon finds himself retreating more and more to his cabin in the woods. After witnessing the suicide of a stranger, a childhood trauma involving his bullied best friend resurfaces and he withdraws even further into the past, estranging himself from his wife and his responsibilities. The only glimmer of hope is a young girl who needs help with her book review. But there is more to the girl than there seems to be.

Amsterdam, Pays-Bas, 1944, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Andries Riphagen, un puissant patron de la pègre, a fait fortune en mettant ses nombreux talents criminels au service des occupants nazis. Mais la longue bataille est sur le point de se terminer et les combattants de la liberté, persécutés et assassinés depuis des années, abandonnent leurs cachettes pour traquer sans pitié ceux qui ont collaboré avec les tueurs.

Lockdown is a comic thriller about living in quarantine. The Netherlands is hit hard by the corona crisis. This goes for Theater Group Maastricht as well. If all theaters close their doors on government orders, bankruptcy is imminent. Artistic leader Michel is very concerned. He worries about the future of his company, but also about his own health. He has asthma and belongs to the so-called risk groups. Nor does his hypochondria help. Fortunately, good friend and companion Servé comes up with a solution. What if they play the Oresteia, the play with which they would premiere soon, via the internet? Just from their living rooms? In this way they can still attract a bit of public interest and possibly close the highest financial need pending help from the government.

In the late 1980s, a Dutch anti-terrorism detective sets out to take down an IRA cell ruthlessly targeting English military personnel on leave in the south of the Netherlands.

Former Amsterdam police detective Floris Wolfs has been transferred to the police department of the south-Dutch country town Maastricht. His metropolitan experience nicely complements the local expertise of his new country colleagues, who know the folks. Slowly he fits in, while solving countless crimes together with his female partner Eva van Dongen.
