voiceover, English subtitles in cinemas

Wedding preparations are in full swing at Grandpa Willem’s house. The bride’s younger brother, 16-year-old Jippie, is getting ready for his music performance, but he falls in love with a neighbour he’s just met.

Everyone is excited about the wedding. Jaap Peter, also known as Jippie, wants to create a big surprise for the newlyweds – the lively boy is planning to sing a couple of songs, but his party lineup may not appeal to everybody in the house. What’s more, the boy is trying to win the heart of Lily, a nice girl who lives next door. All the family members have a lot on their plates. Both Jippie’s sisters have butterflies in their stomachs, Gail and Bart are stressed about making a difficult decision, and Grandpa Willem suffers an injury. Will they all live happily ever after? Nobody knows that, but one thing is for sure: mutual understanding and cooperation guarantee a reward for everyone – a night to remember.
