About The Factory
A large sugar concern wants to take over the ailing sugar factory of the Rustenburg family. A fierce battle ensues and plans are hatched to depose the factory's director.
Directed by Hans Keuls, The Factory leans on a strong ensemble — Rudi Falkenhagen, Guus Hermus, Pleuni Touw — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1981.
