Synopsis
A working-class Transvaal neighborhood in The Hague has seen an influx of Turkish immigrants in recent years and is rife with boarded-up storefronts and urban renewal projects that will further displace longtime residents. Jasper and his fellow pigeon enthusiasts are also resentful that the Turkish newcomers have appropriated their hobby and encroached on the local bird store. Hostility and mistrust seethe just below a surface civility. Set within the world of pigeon racing, we observe the racial tensions that currently plague the Netherlands.
