Polder

After the death of his wife, pig farmer Ronald is responsible for the care of their daughter and the farm. The ever stricter environmental requirements hang around his neck like a millstone. When, to make matters worse, animal activist Erik, unaware of Ronald's situation, starts an ever stronger hate campaign against him, Ronald is desperate.

Directed by Klaas van Eijkeren, Bob Wilbers, Polder leans on a strong ensemble — Jochum ten Haaf, Randy Fokke, Chris Tates — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2023.
