Now in Cinemas: Tussen Wal en Schip – Geruisloos Indisch

Three third-generation Dutch-Indonesian youngsters bring their grandparents back to the Lloydkade, where they arrived some 75 years ago during the repatriation from the former Dutch East Indies. As the last witnesses recount the crossing, their story is transmitted to the new generation through reconstructions, shadow play and projections on the quay walls. What does it mean to feel neither Indonesian nor Dutch? What was integration like, but also discrimination in the Netherlands? And what does the grandparent want to pass on to the grandchild, now that the silence has finally been broken?
