Synopsis

26 people are living in Doel, and they will not be moving anywhere. Not even though everyone else is telling them how hopeless their beloved ghost town is – vandalised, dilapidated and an ironic sightseeing spot for urban explorers, car nerds and Dutch techno ravers. Doel is squeezed in between an industrial port and a nuclear power plant, and since the 1960s the government has wanted to shut down the city to make room for a container park in the name of globalisation. But the citizens will not give up.

The movie is for individual viewing only. Why?
