Verder Dan de Maan plot
It's 1969. The world is waiting to land on the Moon. Against the background of this historic event, the Werner farming family struggles with everyday life. When 9-year-old Caro (Neeltje de Vree) hears about the impending moon landing at school, she can't believe it. At home, on the farm, with her brothers and sisters, she does not find much of an audience for her worries. Her deeply religious father Mees (Huub Stapel) is perhaps even more concerned than she is. He is a farmer in heart and soul and the new era is not for him. He cannot go along with it, evades responsibility for his large family (a sixth is on the way), increasingly flees into drink or hides behind his clownish side. Not only the relationship with his wife Ita (Johanna ter Steege) comes under pressure, but also the family relationships are on edge.
