After winning from Brazil the Dutch football team will play Uruguay in the semi-final of the world cup football. On the day of the semi-final the background program ’10 vor 10’ from the Swiss public TV channel Schweizer Fernsehen sends their Europe correspondent to Amsterdam to pick up the atmosphere before and after the game.
Getting so close to the final the Dutch become totally orange (the national colour of the Dutch) crazy. The fan shops are getting sold out and in cafe Orange the customers are already over excited. They are all pretty sure the Dutch will reach the final.
In the Orionstraat, elected as the most orange street in Amsterdam, the fans are getting prepared to watch the game. They hope the Dutch will play the Germans in the final, so the trauma of losing the 1974 final can be wiped out.
The broadcast consists of a background reportage and live coverage and stand-ups from the Museum square, where 120.000 crazy fans watch the match.
For this production Featurez gave advice, did the research, set-up and planning and accompanied the filming.
