Van Kooten & De Bie - Puur Vieziek
Warning - Now that we no longer view men and women as objects of desire, thank God, it is good to remember how unrestrained things were in the Netherlands long before the restoration of Christian norms and values in 2007/2008. In twenty-seven scenes, which have never before been released on video or DVD—and which you have therefore never seen, not even once on VPRO television—the boundaries of sexual ethics and the resilience of our physical relationships are explored by Walter de Rochebrune and De Vieze Man, Carla and Frank van Putten, Ralph and Thea Ternauw, Jet and Koosje Veenendaal, F. Jacobse and Tedje van Es, Dirk, Koos Koets, Koot and Bie, and about twenty-five other reprehensible, white Dutch people. And this for over a hundred minutes.
