De blanke slavin

Summary

Nothing is quite what it seems in René Daalders’ first feature film.

A German whose brother died in the Netherlands, meets his girlfriend in Amsterdam after the war. He soon finds himself in a hunting lodge where two beautiful girls are taking a crash course in white slavery while under the impression that they are going to be sent to Africa as nurses. In this grim plot there is also a corrupt detective who, with the co-operation of his mother-in-Iaw, has traded his wife to an Arab in the Tangiers Casbah.

This is the surface drama of ‘an enormously serious, pessimistic film' (Daalder), in which the message is, according to co-author Rem Koolhaas: everyone has got the plague and those who realise it are in a stronger position than those who do not.
