Geluif in 't Goeje

Overview

In the summer of 2023, the villagers of Beesel, Limburg are preparing for the Dragon Slaying event: an enormous spectacle that takes place once every seven years. This time, the malicious dragon symbolises a creation of the rulers to keep the people in their place. This documentary shows in practice how a village community, while visualising this metaphorical tale about good and evil, addresses thorny current social issues. How can we stay connected?
