Ronald Plasmeyer (Ruben Van Der Meer) is a small-time Amsterdam detective, struggling with financial problems because of his gambling habit. When the Chinese crime boss Hao threatens Ronald's ex-wife and son to get his money back, Ronald comes up with a plan that will solve all his problems. Ronald enlists two petty criminals (Ton Kas and René Van 't Hof) to rob an illegal poker tournament he's taking part in, providing him with a perfect alibi. Quick, simple and non-violent; the plan is foolproof... until people start getting killed. Soon, Ronald's partners take off with the money, leaving him empty handed. To make matters worse Ronald's colleagues in the police force begin to suspect him of the robbery, setting the stage for a nerve-racking game of cat and mouse. Ronald is all-in... holding the worst hand of his life. Written by

Poor old Ronald! Plan C is a tale about a hard pressed cop who's having a bit of a losing streak.
Losing his wife, child, hair and hand after hand of poker, which is a game of skill, not luck you understand.
Sadly, Ronald's 'skill' isn't well, skillful enough so he needs to pull a stroke.
Ronald enlists the help of a small man who calls on the help of a big man and that's when Ronald's 'skill' runs out and perversely, comes back.
Things go from bad to worse then to even worse, much worse then back to bad again before Ronald finds himself thanking lady luck.
Or is that lady skill ?
Excellent cinema from Holland. Or The Netherlands. Depending on your view.
By the Dutch, anyway, go see it... tot ziens.
