Documentary about the formation and fall of the Rutte 1 cabinet, which was supported by the PVV. Insiders speak candidly about how the tolerance agreement came about, how the CDA split in two, what went on within the coalition, and how the cabinet's downfall unfolded. Moreover, this documentary gives us the opportunity to look ahead, with the knowledge of the time, to what could soon become reality again after the elections in March.

A poignant portrait of a 'mayor in wartime'. The documentary scrutinizes the popular Dutch politician's much-praised approach and also reveals its darker sides. Furthermore, unexpectedly conservative traits of the liberal Muslim Aboutaleb emerge.
