Colonial Layer Cake 1. bölüm

Hans Goedkoop leaves for Indonesia in search of traces of his grandfather Rein van Langen. He was born in Java at the end of the 19th century and would later become chief of staff of the colonial army. How Indian is Hans' family actually? A DNA test shows a surprising result and the trip through Indonesia brings more surprises, such as the shelter for children of Dutch men and Indonesian women, founded by missionary 'Pa' van der Steur. In the colony it is crucial which layer you belong to; the more European, the better. What frayed edges does such a strict division cause, also in Hans' family?

When the Germans invaded the Netherlands in May 1940, Hans Goedkoop's grandfather was on extended leave in The Hague. He refuses to sign a German declaration of loyalty and is taken to the German prisoner of war camp Colditz. As a result, he has little experience of what happens in his native Dutch East Indies, where life under the Japanese occupation changes completely in a few years. The Dutch population disappears into camps or performs forced labor. Indonesians also have to deal with forced labor and hunger. Yet Indonesians also derive hope from the Japanese. Is colonial rule in the country coming to an end for good?
