Fietsen naar de maan

Summary

Social drama about three dysfunctional brothers.

Evert, Henk and Dick are the sons of a father blessed with three qualities that balanced each other out: a charming clumsiness, an unerring sense of business and an artistic sensibility. Whenever his artistic inclinations got him into trouble, his business sense would kick in and bring him to his senses. Unfortunately, his three sons have only inherited one of these qualities each. Fietsen naar de maan shows a decisive episode from the lives of each of the brothers who have become a painter, a policeman and a scrap metal dealer respectively.

A nineteen year-old actor called Jeroen Krabbé made his screen debut in the film and writer Simon Carmiggelt can be spotted in a scene in an art gallery. The brothers are played by Ton Lensink, Berhard Droog and Johan Waldhain. The film also features Lex Goudsmit and Sylvain Poons.
