In this film, we follow four Leiden residents leading up to and during the 450th anniversary of Leiden's Relief. A story about the power of tradition and Leiden's identity. A tribute to our beautiful city!

Why do we stand in the rain every year to watch the parade? Or queue early in the morning, hungover, for herring and white bread? In short, what is the magic of this centuries-old folk festival?
