Flodder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flodder is a 1986 comedy by director Dick Maas, in which an 'asocial' family named 'Flodder' are moved to a rich neighbourhood, as part of a social experiment.

Despite the experiment failing in that the Flodders keep up their old lifestyle, after initial mistrust by the locals, some of them gradually start to like the newcomers, who bring some life into the boring neighbourhood, but in the resulting party, the house gets blown up. Upon which Ma Flodder comments that parties always leave such a mess.

Flodder is also a Dutch word meaning blank cartridge, a referral to the Flodders looking dangerous and being noisy, despite being rather harmless.
