Storyline

Chez Nous is about 'gay friendly' pub 'Chez Nous' which, threatened by bankruptcy, might be sold to a powerful nightlife proprietor. To prevent this sale the regular customers (an extra ordinary group of friends; male - female / homosexual - heterosexual) plan to commit a heist during the Amsterdam Gay Pride. They want to steal a diamond necklace (which is worth millions) from the Amstel Museum and hope to escape and save their favourite hangout this way. Will they succeed?

Trivia

The escape was filmed during the actual Amsterdam Gay Pride Canal Parade. The filmmakers had obtained permission from the organization, on the condition that they would not delay the parade itself or impede any of the other boats, which made the shooting of the scenes logistically quite challenging.
