The queen is coming. And the village in the northernmost corner of the Netherlands is in an uproar. The Kaan family is right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of this June day in 1969: Two of the sons are waving flags in front of the town hall, and the little daughter in her mother Anna's arms is being gently stroked on the cheek by Queen Juliana herself. Forty years later, the Kaan farm has become quiet. There are no more animals left, except for one last bull. And the fact that the elderly farmer Anna regularly retreats to the hayloft with a bottle of advocaat and her burdens is quietly accepted. Only five-year-old Dieke wonders. What changed the course of her family's life forty years ago is revealed gradually. Gerbrand Bakker tells a story that is as terse as it is powerful about a village, a farm, a tragic accident, but above all about a family in which everyone is affected.
