Alles in de Hens
Marcel Hensema
A re-take of the one man show 'Alles in the Hens' from actor Marcel Hensema. The story evolves around a man, in his late 40ies, who takes off for a walk away from the daily struggle with work, family and thoughts, only to find out that you can walk away from your problems, but that you cannot walk away from yourself. This journey of a man, on a road to nowhere, is dramatic, funny and very recognizable especially when you lost track or when you are on a dead-end yourself.

In this world with its strict rules, Jonathan and Coen however have their own ideas.

The boys do not tell their girlfriends about their background and they anxiously keep Marjan and Annemiek hidden from their own community. The friends lead a double life: they ring doorbells to distribute the Ontwaakt! and play in a band for the Jehovah's Witnesses, while they also visit ska concerts and squatters' bars and become increasingly caught up in the worldly life of Marjan and Annemiek.
