She has just gotten out of a juvenile offenders home, and is trying to settle in with her mother and her mother's new boyfriend, but when he tries to rape her, she heads for the home of her older brother Alex (Daniel Boissevain). He has been earning his living by stealing cars. While there, Angie makes friends with a waiter (Hidde Schols) who has some serious markers out with the mob for his gambling. Angie, her brother and her new boyfriend commit a robbery and then must go on the run from both the police and the mob. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

The Egg is a short (58 minute) and sweet seriocomedy from Holland. Johan Leysen plays a shy, illiterate baker who desires an education. Marijke Veugelers portrays the equally shy schoolteacher who endeavors to teach Leysen how to read. Love blooms, and the results, while not always happy, are aesthetically more pleasing than in the similarly plotted Jane Fonda/Robert De Niro starrer Stanley and Iris. Most prints of The Egg are in Dutch with English subtitles, which is as it should be; any attempt to dub these characters with Americanized voices would dissipate the film's fragile charm. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Released in Holland as Gebroken Spiegels, Broken Mirrors is set for the most part in an Amsterdam brothel. Lineke Ripman and Henriette Tol play two whores who begin to rebel against their lot in life. Their story is counterpointed by a subplot involving housewife Edda Barends, who is kidnapped by one of the brothel's customers; as Barends starves to death, her captor takes photographs of her last days on earth. Somehow her demise is meant to be as much a "liberation" as Ripman and Tol's refusal to continue plying their trade. Throughout Broken Mirrors, the male characters are depicted as murderers, both literal and spiritual. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
