Afraid that man will in time become a threat to the inhabitants of heaven, governor angel Lucifer leads a rebellion against God. Registration of Joost van den Vondel's classic stage play, performed by the Publiekstheater.

Television registration of the play of the same name that Annie M.G. Schmidt wrote for Toneelgroep Amsterdam.

But father is delayed; the meantime is filled with conversations. The mother turns out to be having a lesbian affair. The play was poorly received.

Nico and Leo are getting married. Their entire family and both their exes are in attendance. Some of these are performing musical numbers on stage. But memories of the war and the fact that Leo's mother died in a concentration camp keeps coming to the forefront.
