A Noble Intention
Directed by Joram Lürsen
Produced by Topkapi Films, Mythberg Films
A period drama about two men caught between ambition and desperation, whose well-intentioned scheme unravels into tragedy amid the industrial transformation of 19th-century Amsterdam.
1888: a luthier, Vedder, has to step aside when his home, opposite the recently completed Central Station in Amsterdam, must yield for the planned Victoria Hotel. His cousin Anijs, pharmacist in the Northern provinces of the Netherlands, has gotten into a fix after illegal medical practices, and is looking for a way out. For himself and his wife Martha, but also for a colony of poor peat cutters whom he promises a future in the United States. Committed - or is it pride? - the two of them think up a scheme from which they all will fully benefit. With tragic consequences.
