Synopsis:

Three Dutch special events that were filmed. The murder of Kerwin Duinmeijer in 1983 shocked the nation and is filmed by Haro Smitsman. The hostage drama comes eerily close again in the movie 'The Point'. The third movie in this DVD box is about the Baarn murder case from 1961 involving a 14 year old boy, who was killed.

Skin (2006)
Netherlands in the late seventies. The 16-year-old Frankie lives in a working class neighborhood surrounded by port companies. Together with his mother, Anna, he suffers under the heaviness of his Jewish father - World War II concentration camp survivor, but severely traumatized. The tension between Frankie and his father is great, but Anna knows how to keep the family together. When his mother dies unexpectedly, Frankie gets himself more and more lost. He seeks distraction in a group of skinheads with Nazi sympathies. The skins take him into their group, but when Frankie during a nighttime battle stabs a Moluccan boy, his life takes a dramatic turn.

The Point (2009)
On May 23rd, 1977 at The Point in Drenthe, a train is hijacked by 9 young Moluccans. The hijacking held millions of Dutch people for weeks in its grip. In the early morning of June 11th the hijacking ended with violence. Six hijackers and two passengers lost their lives. More than 30 years later a program is broadcasted with five people, who were closely involved in the hijacking. The starting point is the only female hijacker: Noor. She has not survived the hijacking and went down in history as the first female bomber on Dutch soil.

Blood Brothers (2010)
A sultry summer in the early sixties. The 16-year-old Simon wants to appeal to the wealthy brothers Arnout and Victor van Riebeeck. On the capital estate where the brothers live, the boys spend their time playing tennis and rotate images and they dance with Arnouts beautiful girlfriend Frederique. In the attic of the villa they now keep their friend Ronnie hidden, a petty criminal on the run from the police. Without parents or staff even noticing anything, he is hiding there. Initially, the boys find it all quite funny, until Ronnie becomes a burden and he is even blackmailing them. They dare not only evict him...
