- Much has been written, but little is known about Johannes Vermeer, painter of iconic paintings and crowd pleasers such as The Milkmaid and Girl with a Pearl Earring. His small oeuvre is almost everything he left behind. Dicht bij Vermeer (Close to Vermeer) follows Gregor Weber, a globally renowned Vermeer expert and flamboyant curator at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. In the year before he retires, he works on his big dream: the largest Vermeer exhibition ever. Together with Weber, a number of Vermeer enthusiasts and experts go in search of what truly makes a Vermeer a Vermeer. Through new discoveries and by dissecting the work layer by layer, this film brings us closer to the painter to understand the decisions he made and the steps in his oeuvre.

- In a working-class neighborhood in North Amsterdam, almost everyone is deep in debt. Every month a parade of heavies, a bailiff, a police officer and a locksmith moves through the streets to evict people from their homes. It's the ultimate, most dramatic consequence of the centuries-old hunt down on debtors. While the locals struggle with fines, guilt and shame, bailiffs and social workers face locked doors. At city hall, a councilman designates the debt problem as the spearhead of his policy. Meanwhile, the unpaid bills keep piling up. In Debt Society, we get to know them all: the residents, social workers, creditors, the bailiff and the local politician - inextricably linked with each other. Despite their different motives, they share the desire to find a solution to the problem. This six-part documentary series captures their resilience, hope and sense of humor, but also the absurdity of a money-guzzling system in which everyone plays their own part. You can't get blood out of a stone. So who pays the price in the end and who is to blame? In Debt Society, the character-driven storylines, plot twists, poetic voice-over and soulful score are inspired by drama series. Together, they tell a riveting, cinematic tale about a growing phenomenon in the Western world.
