Directed by: Misjel Vermeiren, Titus Tiel Groenestege
Genres: Comedy, Music
Starring: Claudia de Breij, Michelle Samba, Abdelhadi Baaddi

Overview: Television registration of the eponymous performance by the Dutch comedian Claudia de Breij. Based on the life story of revue artist Heintje Davids, De Breij sings, dances and tells about a little girl who was told by her father that she was 'too fat and ugly' for the stage. Later, when she had long conquered that stage, there were people who decided that people like Heintje were too Jewish to be allowed to be there. But whoever stopped her, whatever happened: Heintje was there, and she always came back.
