About the work
Synopsis and character sketches feature film The Holdout, a comic drama and original, fictional story set in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Dutch title: De Dwarsligger). A top tier real estate company buys a lucrative building in the heart of Amsterdam, where the market is hot and competitive. There´s 20 long-term renters in the building and all agree to move out for a premium fee and sign the move out agreement on signing day.. It seem like this is a done deal and the company can move ahead with a full renovation to turn this old deteriorating building into a luxury complex of high-end apartments and a swanky hotel. Then there's a problem. One of the contracts was fraudulent. Not on behalf of the renter, but a family who signed on her behalf. The renter has changed her mind. She doesn´t want to move. It´s a little of Turkish lady. For the rest of this screwball comedy with strong social undertones, the real estate group tries everything in the book, legal and then illegal, to get the old lady out. But she´s got an interesting collection of supporters, which only grows the more the real estate company pushes. In the end who will win? Big business or an old lady whose grounds for staying get shakier and shakier until both sides t up for battle, with half the country watching.
