Sextet plot
Sextet is about sex. It is a comic frame story about the Dutchman and his relations. Various characters and their bedtime stories are reviewed, Sextet is also a film-within-a-film. A grumpy Flemish film academy teacher (Gene Bervoets) regularly interrupts the film to tell his class of film students that behind all those 'stupid form things' and the many 'unfunctional nudes' in Sextet is a vain Dutchman with flaxen red hair and a major midlife crisis. After Simon, Sextet is the second part in Terstall's trilogy about Dutch society.
