Schone Schijn plot
In the Netherlands, more than 350,000 independent entrepreneurs are in serious financial problems. Entrepreneurs who find themselves in dire circumstances prefer not to disclose their financial problems. After all, closing the next business deal depends on a successful appearance. Schone Schijn portrays Serge (45), who tries to keep his head above water with his family with a debt of more than a million euros. Serge was a successful entrepreneur who ran into problems during the financial crisis of 2008. He develops products for the business community and tries to interest investors in his innovations at network drinks and pitches. To look representative, he borrows his friend's BMW. The consequences of corporate debt are painfully felt in the family.
