Jouw Stad, Ons Dorp: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

In this new six-part series, true city dwellers and low-income villagers exchange homes. How do you, as a city dweller, deal with the peace, space and social control in the countryside and how do you, as a villager, experience the crowds, melting pot of nationalities, but also the wide range of shops, restaurants and culture that the big city has to offer? Twelve families / couples take the test in six episodes to find out whether they are happier between the urban concrete or the promised countryside.

The Brabant village of Meeuwen is with only seven hundred inhabitants a place full of peace and space. The ideal place for residents Wilbert, his girlfriend Petra and her two sons. Life in Meeuwen is simple: with a mill, two churches and a village house run by Wilbert and Petra there is little unrest in the village. But then the family exchanges some time of living with the Surinamese family Tojo from The Hague. In The Hague you can experience everything at a stone's throw. But there is also: crowds, noise and a melting pot of cultures. Do the Brabanders know how to keep it in this city that is in all things an opposite of what they are used to? And how do you like the Hague family in a village where they are the only ones with a skin color that is different from the rest? And where they have to drive twenty minutes for the nearest supermarket?
