In the Dutch fanatic collectors tradition the Amsterdam family Hendriks keeps more than 80 rats in their living room. The animals are all over the place. In cages and walking around. Every day new ones are born. The family visits an international rat- and rodent show, where hundreds of European rat freaks gather to trade and exchange thousands of rats, Russian dwarf hamsters, Egyptian Mongols and Chinese mice. The day ends with a breeding-contest and guess what …the Amsterdam family wins. An ARD Europamagazin reportage.
