Meet the Fokkens is an entertaining and charming portrait of elderly twin sisters Louise and Martine Fokkens, who have worked as prostitutes in Amsterdam’s famous – and infamous - Red Light District for over 40 years. Louise stopped work two years ago but Martine is still working – she wants to quit but financially can’t afford it – but the company still spend plenty of time together, with Louise visiting Martine at the small brothel she works in; the pair off for walks and meeting old friends, or simply popping by each other’s flat… naturally they live close together. The Dutch film also charts the changes in Amsterdam’s red light area, with the sisters having charming fond memories of when they were blonde, beautiful and relished fashion and style in their early years in Amsterdam. They debate how they initially became prostitutes; how they went into business for themselves only to be forced out of their brothel by rising costs and shady characters and how the world of prostitution has changed over the years. The directors – Schröder and Provaas is not trying to raise any moral issues about prostitution, but rather simply telling the story of two candid pensioners whose verve and personality has got them through tough years in the world’s oldest profession.
