Carmen, the daughter of a notorious Amsterdam drug lord, reluctantly takes charge of the family's smuggling business in order to clear her husband's debts.
Country: Netherlands
A mysterious man dressed in a business suit sits at the table in a cheap restaurant called “The Place” and is ready to listen to requests and wishes of various people coming to him. In return for the fulfillment of their requests, he makes his own demands, which often sound terrible or sometimes directly interfere with what he demanded from other visitors. While interviewing people, the man always keeps a thick, leather-covered notebook at ready, reading from it and writing the visitors’ wishes with an expensive pen. Although the man declares that he does not set impossible tasks, each of his demands implies going against a number of basic ethical principles. The wishmaker also comments that the people are free to cancel the deal anytime they want.
Police officer Ettore, who needs to find the money stolen in a burglary, is asked to beat someone to blood. The nun Chiara, who has lost her faith in God and desperately wants to find it again, is invited to get pregnant. Mechanic Odoacre, in exchange for a night of sex with a model, is required to protect a child. Gigi is asked to kill this little girl to save the life of a seriously ill child. Old Marcella, in exchange for healing her husband’s Alzheimer, must perpetrate a massacre in a crowded place with an explosive device that she must assemble herself. Young Martina has to commit a burglary for an exact value of 100,000 euros and 5 cents if she wants to become more beautiful. Blind Fulvio wants to regain his sight and is assigned to rape a woman. Azzurra must break up a married couple if she wants her husband to come back to her. Young Alex, the burglar whom police officer Ettore searches for, enters the deal with the man without taking it seriously and asks for his father (Ettore) to leave him alone forever.
Gradually, the lives of all the participants intertwine, sometimes making them help each other and other times fight with each other. The ultimate goal of the mysterious man, however, remains unknown until the café waitress Angela gets involved in the events, trying to understand the man’s identity and motivation. The film ends with an episode in which the man confesses to Angela that he wants to stop doing what he does as he is very tired of his duty. Angela says that this is possible, takes his notebook, pulls out a pen, and starts writing—obviously assuming the man’s role. In the last moments of the movie, the same table is shown at which the man sat the entire film. However, now the table is empty, and a page torn out from his notebook is burning in an ashtray as a symbol of his completed mission.
Watch “The Place” today to unravel the mysterious man’s true intentions and discover the fate of the participants in this thrilling tale.
