- Overview
- The romantic pharmacist Max is in a relationship with Willie and also has a platonic relationship with Laura. The artist Henk is the fourth player in this game of quartets. The foursome is comically torn between the urge for independence and the desire for a partner. Jealousy and relationship anxiety cause the relationships to constantly change, resulting in continuous relocations. In between, there is the minor drama involving Bonita: Max has a passion for pigeons. Together with the melancholic pigeon fancier Gisbers, he is the owner of the cock pigeon Bonita, who never wins any prizes...
