Michael Schaap is studying in the tough world of the marines, made of physically and mentally strong men (because there are no women), with an unprecedented not fooling around doers mentality and always with a strong sense of responsibility, even when the beer is served. But beware of your words: these are men who are looking for their boundaries. Not in the last place on the battlefront.

Original Title: De Hokjesman - De Mariniers
Fascinated by the prevailing pigeonhole spirit, the pigeonhole man goes on field research into the world of appealing Dutch subcultures. With a wink to the classical ethnologist, dressed in a three-piece suit with a bow tie, he analyzes the man as one of the animal groups.

Directed by: Michael Schaap and Jurjen Blick
