- Synopsis:
- From notorious filmmaker Paul Verhoeven and writer Gerard Soeteman comes this director's cut of an explosive, fast-paced coming-of-age drama. Raw, intense and unabashedly sexual, 'Spetters' is a wild ride that will knock the unsuspecting for a loop! Rien, Eef and Hans are three young working-class guys stuck in an industrial town on the outskirts of Rotterdam. They couldn't be more different except for one thing: their shared passion for motorcycle racing, which each sees as his ticket to a better life. But a deeper passion will soon rule each of their lives, when a sexy, ambitious blond comes between them and provokes unforeseen events that will rock their worlds.

A bit dated but good story - Spetters review by Md
The film starts in a humorous way and looks very 'eighties' and feels it. However the story develops and has many things to say about social values, it ends rather like is started but you feel you have been on a deeper journey.
