Mijntje and Trijntje, two girls from Zealand, go to Zandvoort beach. On the tram, they are seen by two young men who start flirting with them. Arriving at the beach, the girls decide to go swimming, and they hire a bathing machine. They are so naïve that they put on their bathing costumes over their voluminous underwear. After playing in the water and ducking a little boy who has been splashing them, they come out and start frolicking on the sand. A policeman arrests them for disturbing the peace.
This early comedy feels at times like a documentary, containing spontaneous shots of daily life; on the tram and the beach.

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
