Mitchell (Dai Carter) is a 15-year-old boy who lives with his father Lucien (Raymond Thiry), following his mother and sister's deaths in an accident. Mitchell finds a girlfriend Kiki (Melody Klaver).
Mitchell is bullied by Lucien. Even though he is a teacher in a sports school, he [who?] teaches his students things like talking about things bothering them [vague]; however, he himself communicates very poorly with Mitchell. Mitchell provocatively shows up dancing in a ballet tutu on his birthday party. Lucien freaks out and injures Mitchell. Mitchell goes in the tutu on his bike to some friends. They are not shocked about his tutu, they just wonder "Does your father know that nowadays you walk around like that?". Lucien starts living at his sports school. The film ends with a beginning of reconciliation: also they still hardly talk to each other, at least they drink coffee together.
Apart from the friction between Lucien and Mitchell the film shows a very friendly multicultural community.

Willem Kalf was one of the most prominent Dutch still-life painters of the 17th century, the Dutch Golden Age. We first get acquainted with Willem Kalf through Arnold Houbraken, in his Groot Schilderboek, who speaks very highly of him. In fact, Kalf was a highly regarded and celebrated artist during his own lifetime. This was due to his extensive art knowledge and what we gain from Houbraken, his affable personality. His claim to fame now rests mostly on his mature still lifes, pronkstilleven in Dutch, which feature the most exotic and luxurious objects. This can be seen in for example, Still life with nautilus beaker and porcelain lidded bowl from 1662, which became an iconic piece of western art.
