Fidgety Bram (seven years old) thinks a lot about the world around him. He is very much looking forward to enter the first grade. But then he ends up in the class of the strict teacher Mr. Fish. The straightfoward Mr. Fish doesn’t care about the inside world of the constantly moving around and unconcentrated little boy and does whatever it takes to make Bram do things the ‘right’ way.

In February 1976, it becomes known that a high-ranking Dutch government official has accepted bribes from aircraft manufacturer Lockheed. It soon becomes clear that this refers to Prince Bernhard. The country is in turmoil when it turns out that Prince Bernhard has indeed accepted bribes. Juliana threatens to resign. The monarchy is shaken. When senior military officials intervene in the matter out of solidarity with the Prince and the people also demand transparency, Den Uyl can no longer postpone his decision. Will he choose to preserve the monarchy or not? A political thriller and a royal drama.
