About

For years, the enormous amount of traffic on the Muntplein in Amsterdam has been regulated by traffic cops from a control post, a few meters above the ground. One of the most famous agents, Jan Bos, is now retiring. As a parting gift, he receives an accident policy from an insurance company. SHOTS: - Traffic heavy on Muntplein; pedestrians, trams, cars, cyclists; - Jan Bos stands on the steps leading to his "dovecote" and points out a traffic offender with a strong voice; a sign has been placed on the dovecote with an appropriate farewell text; - Bos squeezes the hand of a passerby; - Bos enters the company's office, sits down and accepts his policy.
