Overview

Drama set in Twente's textile industry in the 1960s. The young worker Johanna wants to face the social conditions of the time. Their struggle coincides with the economic reconstruction and the arrival of Italy's first workers. Growing tensions between Twente's citizens and the newly arrived Italians lead to the riots in 1961. Along with her new lover Francesco, Johanna is in the eye of the storm.
