In a hilarious and intricate farce set in The Hague, Geert Wilders plays a man who wakes up every morning unable to remember if he still supports his own asylum bill. Another victim of Wilders’ amnesia, singer Douwe Bob, has to flee the country when Dilan Yesilgöz forms a strike partnership with a pro-Israeli football hooligan. PFAS “forever chemicals” are set to join nitrogen compounds and CO2 on the list of pollutants that the Netherlands firmly resolves to do nothing about. And in sport, the men’s cricket and women’s football teams have busy weeks ahead, while the Wimbledon dream is already over for the Dutch hopefuls.
