Amateur dirt-bikers Rien and Hans–and their mechanic Eef–each fall in love with Fientje, a young woman who, with her brother Jaap, works a concession stand at the races. Everyone seeks a better life: Fientje wants out of the business and away from Jaap; and Rien and Hans aim to make their marks as pro racers, like their hero, Gerrit Witkamp.

Cine quinqui a la holandesa. Me gusta mucho ese ambiente de pueblo con un grupo de chavales que van de malotes pero la mitad de las veces le sale mal. Ha envejecido bastante regular en algunos aspectos, pero se nota la mano de Verhoeven.

That was...interesting. It was a unique coming of age film and I can definitely see the inspiration here. Also just so many. dicks. jesus christ this movie is like an advert for viagra. Not really a fan of the gang rape being a queer awakening but I think Eefs story does has something to say about machoism and sexual repression. I don't know if I'll ever revisit this one but I'm glad I've seen it. The music in this really hits tho?? and for what.
