Holland is internationally known for its soft drugs policy, and anybody can enter a Dutch coffee shop and enjoy a Dutch weed joint. Selling the stuff through the front door may be legal, but the supply at the back door was never properly regulated, and is subject to increasing pressure from the authorities. This film explores the world behind the coffee shops' back doors, and offers insight into a world where the idealism of the hippie generation is losing out to the greed and violence of organized crime.
