Overview
The Loenatiks have to move. The old Zonnedael clinic has so many defects that the patients have to leave. Dr. Bomhoff has a good alternative: Binnenzorg. This is a closed institution, where many other patients reside. The new clinic has completely different rules than the five patients were used to at Zonnedael, and that provides enough craziness for a real feature film...
