Holidays and traditions

Emma and Maarten explore how Dutch holidays and traditions have changed over the past fifty years. What do we cling to desperately, and what slowly moves with the times? They celebrate their birthdays in a traditional setting, surrounded by a group of people over 90. Emma takes Maarten to Twente for a tradition from her youth: the blowing of the midwinter horn. They also experience Chinese New Year, once a celebration of the Chinese community, but now a colorful part of Dutch cultural life.
