Goedenavond dames en heren
Anton and Els van Dijk have a hair salon in Hilversum. Their daughters Ietje (20) and Eef (18) are asked by Anton's brother, broadcasting director Peter van Dijk, to audition for a television presenter position. While this opens up an exciting new world for one daughter, it marks the beginning of a period of personal tragedy and radical change for the other. There are 250,000 television connections, and Peter wants to celebrate this in style. It is also an opportunity to rectify mistakes made in the past. In doing so, he not only turns his own life upside down, but also that of the once famous but now estranged singing duo Benno and Wil, whom he managed years ago. Will Peter succeed in getting the duo back in front of the cameras? And what consequences will Ietje and Eef's unorthodox choices have on their family?
