Book adaptation of the novel Hip-Hip-Hip voor de Antikrist by Heere Heeresma.

On the grounds of the psychiatric institution called ‘Hoop doet leven’ (‘Hope brings life’), an aristocratic family with grown children and two servants get up to all sorts of sinful acts and orgiastic meals which are vaguely reminiscent of Marco Ferreri's La grande bouffe (1973).
