Wacht maar af

Directed by Susan Koenen

One day, fifteen-year-old Emma wants to be an artist too, like her idol Ramses Shaffy. This documentary portrait shows how for the time being she is condemned to a life at school with bullying classmates. Emma dreams of blowing them and their fault-finding families away with her music. But to do so, she will need the guts to form a band and jump onto the stage. To muster courage, she roams around Amsterdam in Shaffy's footsteps and gives vent to her feelings in ardent songs. Just wait…
