Het jaar van de kreeft

Summary

The portrait of a brief but tumultuous love affair between a young woman and a man about the same age, 30, whose style of life is utterly different. Pierre is a successful businessman, a 'modern conservative'. Toni is a hairdresser with a company of revue artists, living in a far less protected world. The people she moves among are different from Pierre's rather formal friends. They find it fairly easy to disregard existing norms. But Toni's non-conformism arouses Pierre's interest. In her turn, Toni seeks a relationship with Pierre without surrendering her own personality, of which she has plenty. The man-woman situation which develops out of this is characteristic of the change in mentality in the Netherlands during the seventies, especially in that of women.
