- Gerlach
GERLACH is a loving and humorous portrait of arable farmer Gerlach, who has been farming in the shadow of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for sixty years. His simple wooden house is now wedged in between a Shell petrol station, a McDonalds outlet and various distribution centers. Despite everything that comes his way, Gerlach stands tall with his down-to-earth humor, helped by his loving brothers and friends. His little house is the raindrop in which the world is reflected, existentialist and absurdist.
