Nederwiet plot

"The filmmakers set up a nederwiet nursery at home. Their hilarious account is crosscut with the worrisome cat-and-mouse game played by growers, coffee shop owners, organised crime, police and judges."

A portrait of the Netherlands based on the history of Nederwiet, with the focus on the coffee shop, that sign of the Netherlands, whose front door stands for good intentions and tolerated self-indulgence, and the back door gives access to a twilight zone of prohibited cultivation and criminal wholesale. . What has thirty years of tolerance policy yielded? And what does the coffee shop tell us about the country we live in?
