During Queen Juliana's visit to a village in North Holland in 1969, the Kaan family suffers a tragic accident that will mark them forever. Years later, Jan Kaan returns from Texel to restore the gravestone of his little sister, and that reunion with the family farm reopens old grudges and questions that had been buried.
