- For more than thirty years, the coffee shop has been the international model of tolerance and lenience in the Netherlands. Nobody is penalized here for using soft drugs. But the production nederwiet (Dutch skunk) is still prohibited. The result is an equally hilarious and worrisome cat-and-mouse game played by growers, coffee shop owners, organised crime, police and judges at the backdoor of coffee shops. Filmmakers Maaik Krijgsman and Hans Pool decide to start growing marijuana at home. Their ill-fated enterprise is entertaining to watch. But the stories of the hemp grower, the seller of growing equipment and the coffee shop owner they do business with are sobering. The stricter police policy forces up the price, which paradoxically only fuels the interest of heavy criminals. The idealist hippie era is over. Nederwiet shows all sides of the nederwiet business: from police raids of home growers and visits to large-scale nurseries to a musician who tries to end his weed addiction.
- Tom is a lonely man who sorts old rags for a living. His cheers up after taking on an apprentice, the equally lonely Jo. But the arrival of a second apprentice named Ferry creates a wedge between them.
- In the Turkish city of Istanbul, hundreds of people make a living selling carpets. Whether it's on the square near the Aya Sophia, beside the Blue Mosque, or on the bridge over the Bosporus, carpet peddlers do their best to attract tourists' attention and sell their one-of-a-kind, hand-woven wares. Like many others, Ahmet spends his days schmoozing with tourists, hoping that they will buy a carpet in his store. But unlike his competition, he has a trump card in the form of his Dutch wife Martha Vonk, and his stories about her drum up a good deal of business. The tourists buy his story and come along with him, but Martha is nowhere to be seen. What's the story with this enigmatic woman? Does she really exist?
