Nieuwe schoenen

A modern fairytale about ordinary feelings and extraordinary events. Aafke and Thalia are both 30 years old when they meet each other in a shoe shop. They both return there after having accidentally left the shop with each other’s new shoes. They spontaneously decide to trade lives with each other for 24 hours.
