Patty Brard had bought a house on the Amstel, but now there was suddenly a dredging platform that would remain for three years. Yes, then Patty Brard gets angry. Danny De Munck had purchased a pond, but the municipality came to collect pond tax and a fine, and the neighbor turned out to have something against Koikarpers. Yes, then Danny de Munck gets angry. Camping guests Helma and Hans must see how two mobile toilets are placed just before their caravan. Yes, then Helma gets angry.
Fortunately, it all turned out to be fake. They were fooled by Frans Bauer for Banana split. With a lot of effort, he staged situations that were aimed at making the victim upset, and preferably to move to swearing. Ten years ago, the public broadcaster stopped the program because it was purely entertainment – the cabinet at the time did not find amusing a public task. But now the despair is apparently so big in Hilversum that the cliques are warmed up again with a sauce of nostalgia over it. The best thing about 45 years of Banananplit (Saturday, NPO 1) – What a lazy television. It used to be not fun and it is still not fun.
Small house dictatorship
Her father makes the dolls and the models, her mother makes the clothes. For example, the Moroccan director Asmae El Moudir brings the house and the neighborhood from her youth back to life. In the studio where the models are, she invites her family to talk about the past. In the documentary Mother of All Lies (NPO 2) The models and the dolls not only ensure the imagination of the past, but they also serve as a means to get the family talking. When the film was shown in the cinema last year, after a crown in Cannes, El Moudir compared its project in NRC with trauma therapy.
First it is about photos. El Moudir once secretly had a photo taken of himself, in a tropical decor. There were no family photos in the house. He had burned grandma Zahra. There was only one photo of the then King Hassan II. When grandma sees the Miniversion of Hassan II in the dollhouse, she pushes a kiss on it.
Grandma Zahra is the villain in the story, about who is running everything. While filming, she is unpleasant, she hunts the other people present in the curtains. She ruled the family like a small dictator, the neighbors spied. Indeed, just like Hassan II over his country. The larger subject slowly appears: during the 1981 bread riot, the king set up a massacre in the neighborhood. He had the bodies removed, the survivors he imposed an obligation to remain silent.
The small house dictatorship of Oma Zahra reflected the great dictatorship of Hassan II. Whether grandma, as a supporter of the king, played a dubious telling role, is only suggested. You still get sorry for her. Married at the age of twelve to a violent man, she lost twins. Yes, she was against protesting and silence, because she was just terrified that something would happen to her family.
El Moudir concludes with: “Only when we say things out loud do we know how painful the silence was.”
