Lydia Schouten

A video about the emotional experience with nature. A woman with a tale meets sirens, mermaids and other fantastic creatures in the garden of Lusts — between Paradise and Hell.

In a slow and flowing movement, the video camera registers life in Leerdam.

A frame narrative about a curious bunch of Rotterdammers and the 'fairy-tale' of their lives. This is the story of two women and the people and things they encounter. Interviews with a high percentage of nonsense, credibly acted scenes, coincidence, dry humour and erotic elements: this Rotterdam does not bore for a moment!
