Annie MG Schmidt, the vicar's daughter in Zeeland, is one of the most famous writers of the twentieth century. She let a breath of fresh air in the post-war Netherlands. We take a look at different periods of her life and see that Annie is privately a passionate, searching woman who falls in love with a married man. For years she is his mistress and later in life the mother of his child. A woman who craves love and will do anything to make her husband happy, right up to his death.
