emigration

Sterren stralen overal

Social drama about a family emigrating to Australia.

Taxi driver Piet Amstel is worried about the ‘declining morals’ of 1950s Amsterdam and decides to emigrate to Australia. The government drive to build atomic shelters and the incessant Dutch rain only strengthen his purpose, as Amstel figures sunny Australia would make a positive change for his family. But first he needs to bring his daughter and her criminal boyfriend back on the right path.
