In Den Helder, there was The Hood: a carport where the Antillean community gathered, which the municipality decided to demolish. Director Judith de Leeuw was interested in recreating their time there, but she suffered backlash from the local Antillean community, whom questioned her position and intentions in wanting to make a documentary about this topic and its community.

On the outskirts of Den Helder lies De Nollen, an inland dune area where nature, sculpture, and painting merge into a truly immersive experience. It is the life's work of artist Rudi van de Wint. He died unexpectedly in 2006. His sons, Ruud and Gijs, carried on his dream, out of love for their father and for De Nollen. But plans for a Rudi van de Wint museum in the area led to cracks in their idyllic existence.
