In the year that De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig celebrates its twentieth anniversary, this cheerful, energetic documentary takes you on a chaotic, funny, and typically musical Jeugd-adventure. Four friends, Wiwa, Vjèze Fur, Faberyayo, and Bas Bron, once brought together by chaos, have grown into a cultural phenomenon that has been setting the tone for two decades and has influenced several generations. With hits like Watskeburt?!, they left their own mark on the music industry: creative, innovative, and humorous.
Commentary
The Making of De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig is not a traditional band biography, but a quirky, clever, and occasionally uncontrolled ride, just like the group itself: unpredictable, funny, sharp, and still completely in shape. As the band works towards their anniversary concerts, defining moments from their career are brought back to life with actors and archival material, causing fact and fiction to merge in a witty and sometimes disruptive way. Interviews, memories, and fabrications flow effortlessly into each other and provide a picture of a group that continues to reinvent itself.
