What happens
Op hoop van zegen (meaning Here's to Hoping or In the Hope of Blessing; also known as The Good Hope) is a 1918 Dutch silent drama film directed by Maurits Binger. Starring Esther de Boer-van Rijk, the film was based on a notable social drama play of the same name by Herman Heijermans, which was first published in 1900. It is about the effects of a scuttling of a ship for claiming its insurance money and the devastating effect this has on the small fishing village and mother of two of the sailors. Well-received, it had been cited as the best Dutch film up until that moment in time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
