Storyline

To his own amazement, stand-up comedian Jochem is chosen to play the part of young Adolf Hitler in a stage production. He wants to prove that he is a serious actor as well as a jester, but his co-players pressure him into playing the part of Hitler for laughs. In the end, Jochem is caught between the earnest intentions of his director, Max, and the demands of the players. Their intermediary is Sanne, Max's assistant director - who also happens to be Jochem's girl friend. To whom will she remain loyal?
