Comedian André van Duin talks to his colleagues in the back of an oldtimer.

In Langs de IJssel, Huub Stapel follows the IJssel, the most idiosyncratic river in our country. It does not flow from East to West like other rivers, but towards the North. Huub investigates the role this river plays in the landscape, its history and the lives of the people who live on its banks.

Huub Stapel travels with writer Eva Vriend to the place where it all began: the Andijk test polder. In the Wieringermeerpolder he meets the sons of two polder pioneers who came with their parents full of expectation at the beginning of the last century to colonize the new land.
