Droomdorp

Although there is nothing to see yet on the bare polder land in Almere, initiators Sant and Solange have managed to get many residents enthusiastic about participating in the development of the new village. Martin can already see himself working in the enormous vegetable garden and Elly sees herself playing a role in how the group of residents can make joint decisions. Els would like to take her bees with her. Everyone dreams out loud about what their lives will be like in the future, but the first corona lockdown raises the question of whether their dreams can still become reality.

Corona not only causes delays but also frustration among future residents. Many of them have already sold their previous home and are looking for temporary accommodation at a nearby holiday park. There they get to know each other and together they ask critical questions to initiators Sant and Solange who, as those responsible for the construction and fellow residents, struggle with the different hats they wear. Martin is undeterred and is taking a permaculture course in order to be able to pass on that knowledge in the village. When delivery is actually imminent, everyone will be in for a shock.
