Synopsis:

***ATTENTION***Mixed language audio with English & Dutch subtitles***Sam was born in the Netherlands as the son of a Moroccan father and Dutch mother. After his father abandoned him and his mother, he throws himself fully to his career as a police officer. He is driven by the ambition to really mean something for society. To make a difference on the streets, but also in how people think about Moroccans. His desire for acceptance by his peers and superiors at the Amsterdam police drives him to search the boundaries within the law. If he is asked to infiltrate in a Moroccan drug family, he sees it as a chance to show his qualities. When he becomes part of the family a long-suppressed feeling comes up: finally it feels like he has a home. The Moroccan family is less criminal than he thought, and his relationship with two of the members is getting stronger. Eventually Sam comes to stand for a moral conflict: he must choose between his career as a police officer and the family.

Samir was born in Holland as son of a Moroccan father and a Dutch mother. After graduating from the Police Academy, he now gravely desires appreciation from his police force. By infiltrating in a Moroccan drugs family he can prove his special value. While he becomes part of this family, Samir is confronted with long suppressed feelings; he feels at home. The family turns out to be not as clear-cut bad as he thought, while the police force isn't always as upright as they seem to be. Samir finds himself entangled in a moral dilemma.
