Megalopolis I plot

Megalopolis I is about a young Surinamese man in Amsterdam with an 'internal monologue', concerning his dissatisfaction with society and his position as an outsider within it. For instance, he is allowed to vote for the first time in the parliamentary elections of May 15, 1963. On July 1, 1963, he participates in the Keti Koti procession, which commemorates the centenary of the abolition of slavery in Suriname (in 1863). Subsequently, we see him wholeheartedly participate in a sit-down in The Hague.
