The year is 1964 and 19-year-old Freek gazes around in fascination as he boards the ferry to Zeelandic Flanders. To the southern part of Zeeland, to the part with the unfamiliar and incomprehensible accent. He's off to visit Henk, Ko and Pol, his friends in Terneuzen, high school students who double as editors of a literary magazine, Stiletto. The guys go out in Terneuzen every week, choosing the well-known jazz café Porgy and Bess as the scene for their nighttime antics, where they wake up the following day is always a surprise. But when Freek's parents go on holiday, he decides it's about time the southerners from Terneuzen ventured over the water in his direction for a change. What begins as an innocent party soon escalates into a significant turning point in the life of this inexperienced teen. Upbringing, taboos, inhibition and convention are just a few of the obstacles he encounters in the search for sin.
