A humorous and moving national epic, JOHAN’S COUNTRY is a captivating journey through time which explores the question: how did our country become what it is today?

In the epicenter of the hippie movement and the home of Ajax, housemates Onno and Gijs fall head over heels for the dreamy Sonja on the night following the city’s student riots. Sonja effortlessly wraps both men around her finger. They mix drugs with deep conversations, philosophizing about social change, artistic expression, and personal growth. But as Amsterdam immerses itself in the Flower Power movement, free love turns out to be more complicated than it seems.
