Security

Tjitske, who makes news items for television, gets permission from her boss to make her first long documentary about a hot topic; the increasing popularity of right wing ideas, a film about the 'underbelly' of society. Security guard Bob, seems to be the perfect main character for her film. In his work he meets VIP's, activists, street scum and other assertive people. Smooth talking and with dignity, charm and humor Bob manages to control difficult situations. With both feet in the soil of the multicultural society he appears to be unexpectedly subtle. Tjitske challenges him but is being confronted with her own prejudices. And the more she gets to know Bob, the more she is starting to really like him...

Directed by Nicole van Kilsdonk, Security leans on a strong ensemble — Loek Peters, Elise Schaap, Wim Bouwens — 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 comedy titles of 2010.
