Wild Mussels

There is a group of friends. All of them are in their early twenties. They live in a sleepy fishing village in the Netherlands. Their lives go by in the same shape every day. At some point they begin to think that over again. That reconsidering is the main line of the account. The account is set inside village life. Fishing is how the town makes its living. Being young and staying in a small place are the two poles of the account. The film runs drama and comedy together. Fedja van Huêt and Frank Lammers take the leads, with Frederik Brom and Angelique de Bruijne also in the cast, in Erik de Bruyn’s Dutch film of 2000.
