Overview

How do you tell your classmates that you're staying home this summer while they talk about faraway destinations and exciting adventures? What do you do when you are ashamed because there is no money at home for a hot meal, let alone a holiday? How do you make a summer in your own neighborhood a constant time? The new BNNVARA drama series 'De Achterblijvers' follows Sven, Wiggert, Alicia and Hamza; four children die forced to stay at home while their classmates leave. What first feels like a summer full of missed opportunities quickly turns into an adventure they will never forget.
