- On the day before Christmas a man is being interrogated, suspected of murder. We hardly know anything about him and we don't understand why he has been taken in for interrogation. Because the suspect stubbornly refuses to answer any questions, the assistant inspector brings in a typewriter - an Olivetti 82. That way he can type out his own story. After all he's a writer, isn't he ? Gradually the man starts telling us the story of his life - searching for love and security. 'Olivetti 82' pictures the descent into an ordinary man's life. Step by step we find out about his tragic past.

- 14 October 1943: Jewish prisoners and Russian P.O.W. killed some Nazi guards in the infamous KZ Sobibór and organized a mass escape through the electrified barbed wire fence and minefields around the camp. Few of the escapees survived the war. One of them was the Dutch Jew Jules Schelvis (1921-2016). This documentary is based on the 18 hours of interview with 12 survivors which Schelvis recorded in the 80's with his little camera.
- A SHTETL IN THE CARIBBEAN tells the compelling story of two childhood friends who grew up on Curaçao, in search for their family history in Eastern Europe. Mark and Tsale, children of Eastern European Jews that fled to Curaçao, travel back to the home countries of their ancestors. In a documentary road-movie across Curaçao, the United States, Belarus, Ukraine and Israel, we witness their discoveries, courage and despair while they are reminded of the sacrifices their parents had to make to provide their family with a better future. This unknown story is revealed in a journey from the desolate wastelands of Eastern Europe to the exotic Caribbean, a contrast metaphoric for the history of Mark and Tsale's ancestors. A SHTETL IN THE CARIBBEAN originated from a strong emotion: we are all part of the same family, no matter how different we are. The film is also an homage to Curaçao, a small island with a big heart, and a place that has been a safe haven for strangers. Only in such a place a human being can truly build a home.
