An old Frisian farmer bent on revenge. A criminal from Amsterdam barely surviving a liquidation. An illegal immigrant with uncertain prospects. Eventually, they meet under an ancient oak tree. Beyond the last town.

De wederopstanding van een klootzak (The Resurrection of a Bastard) stars Yorick van Wageningen (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Juda Goslinga and Goua Robert Grovogui and is produced by Topkapi Films in co-production with Menuet and VPRO.
Multi-talented artist Guido van Driel is a filmmaker, a painter and a writer/designer of graphic novels. In 2000, Van Driel made his début as a filmmaker with the documentary U spreekt met Frank Laufer (U Are Speaking with Frank Laufer).

The film Groen is toch de mooiste kleur voor gras (Green is Still the Nicest Color for Grass), produced by IDTV Film for broadcaster VPRO, was written and directed by Van Driel and nominated for a Golden Calf award at the Netherlands Film Festival in 2007. This film established his name as a filmmaker with a very original signature. © www.filmfestivaltotterdam.com
