Nice weather, Mr. Pradhan! (1989)
A short documentary (30 min) for the NOS about a Nepalese anthropologist who is researching the care of elderly people in the Dutch countryside. He chose Schoonrewoerd for this, a strict reformed village with 1500 inhabitants in the Vijfherenlanden 30 km under the smoke of Utrecht. The main street divides the village in two directions within the same faith: Calvinist and Dutch Reformed. Rajendra Pradhan tries to understand the village, he learns Dutch and goes to live there for a year. He gradually discovers that the village is studying him instead of the other way around. Every minute of his actions is being watched.
