On behalf of the entire party, I would like to welcome you all

on this historical day.

Because on this day,

we will shatter the glass ceiling for all women of color

once and for all!

It is therefore a great honor and my pleasure

to introduce you to our new party member,

Hayat Kynani. Please join me.

It's pronounced as Kynani, but thank you, Agnes.

I am honored to stand here today.

I cannot wait to contribute to a better society,

a society where women have equal rights.

A society where everyone is valued

regardless of ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.

Let's make a difference together.

Thank you.

They're treating her like a mascot.

Can't you talk to Mom?

She's retiring anyway. Let me be the CEO.

If you know how to spell CEO. I'm there to help Mom, don't worry.

Help her how? By slicing sushi?

How's teaching going?

Dude… They've never seen anyone like me.

You get me, bruv? I'm only doing good things.

I think they keep the study advices low to get more subsidies.

They don't get subsidies, that's why we fund them.

Wanna bet they get both?

Do you have any proof?

-I know for sure. -A real CEO would present proof.

Eat your meatballs.

Those scores are absurdly high for a class like Nordin's. Look.

All destined for pre-university education. It's completely misleading.

It's the majority. How's that possible?

-As if they're suddenly doing their best. -Here. Vocational training. Look.

One kid and you're throwing a party.

Don't worry.

I've got the list with my advice from the fifth grade.

-Just fire him. -Henk.

I can't just fire him. Think about it.

No, we have to be subtle.

I think I…

What's up, my dog?

Henk and Henriette, good morning.

-Good morning. Yes, fine. -How are you?

Right. Nordin, glad you're here.

We wanted to discuss the final examination scores.

We know you've done your best, but exams are only a snapshot.

It unfortunately gives a wrong impression of their level.

We want you to share this study advice at the parent/teacher meeting instead.

We think it's a better reflection of who the children are.

I only see vocational education here.

-What's this? -You shouldn't look down on that.

The world needs people who can work with their hands.

These kids deserve better.

You know they're smart. They did their best. So why?

If we send them into the world with this study advice,

they'll fail in secondary school and we will be held responsible.

How on earth did you become principal?

Do you underestimate them or are you just nasty?

Don't forget I can give your mom a call and that will be it for you.

First, don't ever talk about my mom.

Second, don't ever threaten me. Do you hear me, or are you suddenly deaf?

Don't do that again.

One more thing.

Someone entered my office unauthorized. Do you know anything about it?

Of course not.

Weird coincidence, don't you think?

You arrive and someone breaks in.

Because I'm Moroccan?

So nasty.

I didn't say that.

-I did not say that. -You didn't.

-Not literally. -Not…

-I did not say it at all. -No.

Right?

PARTY CHOOSES AIRHEADED INFLUENCER TO ATTRACT WOKE VOTERS

I have to admit, it did shock me a little.

We did not expect this much resistance right away.

Except from a newspaper that took the wrong side in World War II.

Yeah, well…

Readers wouldn't vote for you anyway. Regardless of the party members.

But what did you say again?

Shattering the glass ceiling for women of color? Come on.

That is what I wish to stand for.

But you're afraid it might cost you seats in parliament.

Oh, no, dear.

I just think it's wise to post official announcements

through the party only.

To give one clear message.

So we don't constantly get remarks about you being an influencer,

as amazing as you are.

I'm sorry, no. That's her job.

If she quits that, she loses more than half her income.

Unfortunately. But you do have your family, don't you?

-I do have my family. -Great.

-Thank you. Talk to you soon. -Bye.

They'll throw you under the bus first chance they get.

-Instantly. -Instantly.

And those dweebs running after her. And what's this supposed to mean? Yuck.

How many African children sacrificed their limbs for these diamonds?

I don't know. Thirteen?

Just enough to get the right stones and not worry about it.

White people literally invented stealing.

-They've been doing it forever. -Everything all right?

You know the worst thing?

History repeats itself.

It's just as bad as it used to be.

I think he's got one of those exi…

A crisis within himself.

-An existential crisis. -Yes, that.

-Can we help you with something? -A watch helps with that.

All these books are full of lies.

Imagine me telling them this bullshit. That would make me just as scummy.

That's because those books are full of Western propaganda with the goal

of maintaining the class system and established world order.

He's actually smart, isn't he?

I'm supposed to teach the children this? Full of lies.

What am I to tell them? Golden Age? Maybe we should be honest this time.

Golden Age? Let's go.

The time when the Dutch traveled the world and screwed everyone.

Plundered everything.

And you know what they did back then? Kill.

Somali pirates? How about Dutch pirates?

That's what you should learn. But they don't teach you that.

They teach you the "divide and rule" policy.

You know that one well. You're best pals now.

In ten years, you might not be.

Enemies. Why? Nobody knows. Look. Pieces of art.

They're worth a million. At least. All of them.

They're rotting away in a European museum.

Why the fuck are they in the Netherlands?

All stolen. Look.

Your dad fixes TVs, right?

Ask if he can fix this.

324… 326…

500…

550…

What are you doing?

I work out when I'm bored.

-I'm bored too. We should do something. -You need money for that.

-How much have you got left? -I've got nothing.

It's actually ridiculous. We live in this big mansion

and we haven't got two nickels to rub together.

When we're so smart. I could've gone to a pre-university school.

-I would've been head of a CEO now. -Head of a CEO?

-Of course. -Head of a company, idiot.

That too.

That's it.

We'll teach people how to become a CEO.

For sure.

-Why does it have to be me? -You're more photogenetic.

I'm more handsome in real life, but you look better on video.

It makes sense for you to go first. Come on.

What do I say?

Come on. It's not that hard. Just read the script.

"Ten simple steps to become successful in any industry."

People will pay big money for that. Get it through your head. Come on.

You're right. Okay.

Action.

Delegating is one of the most important skills

a successful entrepreneur should have.

Working yourself? I don't think so. Investing your own money? Excuse me.

Don't be silly.

The Amine and Souf method.

The AS method teaches you how to get the most out of it.

Because you too could be a boss just like me.

The AS method teaches you all the important things. For example…

Why buy one Ferrari when you can have three?

Or our soon-to-be bestseller,

Paying Taxes? You Think I'm Crazy?

Buy our course now and I swear on your mother,

if you don't become loaded, I'll beat up my dad.

That's going too far.

-I'll do it. -Come on. This is serious.

-You have to be convincing. -You're not going to beat up your dad.

We need to sell this stuff. I'll beat him to a pulp.

You either become loaded or you stay a bum.

I'll beat your dad.

It's fine.

Do you want to sit in the front row for just a dime?

Do you want to fill your pockets without having to do anything?

Then your broke ass should hurry and buy the AS method.

Right in my face. What are you doing, you donkey?

That's how you do it.

-Not in my face. -No, on your stomach.

Sometimes you just take the bonne chance and put it in your pocket.

-This is… -This is terrible.

What do you mean? This is great. The crossfade, colors, everything.

-This is pure art. -Play it again. Turn the volume up.

Look. Right?

I can't hear my voice. Did you record the sound?

No biggie. We'll record it again.

-No biggie? Are you crazy? -What?

-I'm not doing that shit again. -Of course we are.

-You do it. I'm out. -Don't be so difficult.

You think you got a free clown? I'm not doing it. You do it.

-Why are you always like this? -This shit is not for me.

Maybe we should accept that this whole CEO shit isn't for us.

We're just Nordin's brokies.

Hello? Yes.

Of course.

Turn around and you might see us. We're on our way.

Let's go. Nordin needs his brokies.

Today's task: We enter the museum with our phones in hand.

What do we do? We film. Everything they stole from us.

What's the point? The museum will still exist.

Eva, I'll tell you what the point is.

When you make shit go viral, you can make a real change.

Grab your phone, and don't forget, we're rewriting history.

All right? You too, Eva. Rewrite history.

Here it is, the museum.

Everything's stolen. Find a spot for your video.

Good.

Sir, who's this?

I don't know. But definitely a racist.

Why?

That's an "I've got four people of color tied up in my basement" outfit.

My grandpa has a self-portrait like that.

Learned something new, right?

-Damn. -Check out those tribal chiefs.

I wish I was a tribal chief.

My head on a wall like this. Wouldn't that be cool?

-Mr. Amine? -"Mr. Amine"? I like that.

What is it, my child?

How can I help your little child brain grow?

Mr. Nordin says you can hack any computer. Is that true?

-Yes. There's not a single-- -I don't believe you.

-Me neither. -I swear.

-No way. -I'm the best. Of course I can.

-You can't. -Nah.

-I can. -You can't.

-Wanna see? -Sure.

Let's go.

Where are they?

-Who? -Nordin. And the entire sixth grade.

I passed by the classroom and it was empty.

-I think they're on a field trip. -Field trip?

I did not authorize that. And you just let them go?

What am I supposed to do? I'm here to teach music.

Have you seen those kids?

I don't pay you to stuff your face with cake and coffee all day.

Could you maybe go warm up your voice?

Thank you.

-Henk, I need your help. -Really?

I think I found a way to get rid of Nordin.

-Oh, right. -Didn't someone break into my computer?

I think it was him.

You think so? He doesn't strike me as a hacker type.

Like your parents and ex-wife, not everything is as it seems.

I know it was him.

-You think he got the files? -No.

The school has a great cybersecurity system.

It's never been hacked before.

That's not entirely true.

Remember that crazy hacker student who shut down everything?

Anyone could access the grades.

That's something entirely different. And a long time ago.

My dad was still principal and Nordin was still a student.

What…

FACES OF DE EKSTER

STUDENT PICTURE: NAME: AMINE

Yo, sir. You look fat. Did you eat Mr. Henk or something?

-Excuse me? -Never mind.

Did you see that? Bunch of crazy activists.

They're vandalizing the art.

Look for yourself.

-I don't see anything. -You're saying I'm lying?

-Look. I'm the craziest one. -Stay there.

-I'm vandalizing that shit. Fuck you. -Come back here.

All right, prove it.

-You don't believe me. -I don't.

Keep watching.

Pay attention.

I'm not seeing anything.

Come on.

Relax.

Hurry up.

-Almost done. And… -Hurry.

I've disabled the alarm. Take that.

-The alarm's been disabled. -Check.

Go viral. Yes, that's it.

Viral.

Go on. We're going viral.

Keep going.

THIS IS LOOTED ART! BOYCOTT!!!

Oh, my God.

Nordin is asking me to post this. They want to boycott the museum.

That's very noble, but we've got that deal with Agnes.

Isn't that what the party stands for?

Equality, justice, transparency.

That's true, but…

But? We're not allowed to express it?

-You know what? Fuck that shit. -Okay.

Beautiful day, my little warriors. You did well.

-What the fuck is that, Wesley? -They stole it too.

You said to take action, so we did.

That's not what I meant, dummy.

Anyway, I know someone who might want it.

Nordin.

I need the vacuum cleaner.

Tonight's my first parent/teacher meeting and I'm a little nervous.

No, I can't. What are you saying? Take it. It's for you.

-Is this about that field trip? -We'll talk about that some other time.

I'm here to draw your attention to the approved study advice.

I assume everything is clear.

Why are you doing this? You're messing with human lives.

These kids deserve better.

Are you comfy? Should I bring some coffee?

Had you studied the regulations, you would've known about the trial period,

in which the school board may conduct an unannounced inspection.

And you couldn't have chosen another time?

Hi.

-Hello. -Hi, I'm Joyce. Wesley's mom.

-Siu. -Yes, that's the one.

Take a seat.

Hi.

Coffee or tea?

Chewing gum.

Good, well…

Let's not beat around the bush.

Wesley's study advice is vocational training.

We think that's what's best for him right now.

I thought he was making good progress lately.

He always tells great stories about his new teacher. About you.

I was hoping for at least senior education.

Well…

Wesley seems to lose his focus at times.

And all he does is imitate Cristiano Ronaldo.

We went on a field trip to the museum and he took…

Silly me. Sometimes… So strange.

-You're talking about Wesley van Dijk. -Yes.

Silly me. Wesley van Dijk.

Pre-university education.

-You're kidding. -I'm being serious.

He's doing really well. Reading comprehension, A-plus, math, A-plus.

Cough drops are in the second drawer, Vera.

He's patient, very social. A lot of determination.

That boy is going to be a doctor. I think so. In the soccer business.

Sports doctor. That's what I always said.

I just knew it.

"Hayat does not only want to oppress Dutch women

with her Arabic headscarf line,

she is also trying to sell those same women makeup

that's being tested on innocent little Dutch pigs."

"She posts daily shit instead of making an actual change."

They're calling me a cultural Instagram terrorist.

They're scared of you. That's good.

I don't want people to be scared. I want to do something good. To give back.

Feet off the table.

Hayat, sometimes it doesn't go the way you want it to in life.

So I should just quit?

We need to get you on a talk show so the world sees who you really are.

Because Moroccans are always painted in a good light there.

We're looking for something productive.

Shouldn't you be rubbing wasabi on your ass or something? Pardon me, Mom.

You're not looking at the broader picture.

Hayat stands for change.

That's why they attack her. She can't be controlled.

She doesn't adapt. Rightly so. So what do they do? Cancel her.

Hayat, do you understand how many followers you have?

Do you get it?

You've got so many followers, an average Gen Z influencer

would sell their soul, their balls, their mom just to be you.

Pardon me, Mom.

Please listen. Take your phone and go live.

Give them the truth. You don't need that party.

Agnes is cancelling the collaboration.

What?

She's mad about that video and her husband's on the museum board.

And she thinks the way you profile yourself deviates too much from--

Please listen.

I get it. You don't want to listen to me.

He's the smart one, I get it. Honors student.

"Japan. I would never play for Morocco if I were a soccer player." I know.

The only thing he and his wife do in the bedroom is debate.

Pardon me, Mom.

Please listen to me.

Dad did not leave any fear behind here.

In you nor in me. Okay?

He only left a tiny amount and put it all in Choukri.

But listen to me carefully. Please.

Just one time. You don't need that party.

You do not need that party.

-Dad. -Hey, my little Vera.

It's going well with the permits.

My contacts with the municipality have got our backs.

It seems like it will go through.

And what about my deal?

There will be one made for you.

-Are the savings going well? -Absolutely.

The donations keep coming.

-Everything is going smoothly, then? -Yes.

More or less.

There's a new teacher. He won't get off my back.

He's being annoying and enthusing the students.

-You're kidding. -But I got him under control.

He won't be there for long.

You should've seen me at that parent/teacher meeting. Real CEO.

Determined, in control, wow.

I get it, Nordin.

Growing and flourishing, Mom.

Straight path to CEO.

Hi Nordin, Isn't this someone you know?
