Flood - DVD

The Okavango is one of the most diverse habitats on earth -- a kingdom like no other. Here, the arrival and disappearance of sweet fresh water alters the balance of life for so many. The flood is a sanctuary and a trap, giving and taking life in equal measure. Above and below the water, never ending battles of wits and survival play out. This is a place of spectacular natural dramas where the fortunes of tens of thousands of animals each year are controlled by one ruler - The Great Flood.

Industrialist Cornelis van Doorn (Kees Brusse) got so filthy rich because he wasted nothing... as demonstrated by how he turned the animal hormone waste from his slaughterhouses into a side business of birth control pills. The time came, though, when he had to choose a successor from amongst his kids, legitimate or otherwise-and the only competent candidate (Rudolf Lucieer) was cursed with ethics. Sexy satire co-stars Andrea Domburg, Hugo Metsers, Sonja Barend. 107 min.
