Five years it was in the making, this documentary about one of the last squatters' strongholds in the Netherlands: the Landbouwbelang in Maastricht. A film about what living together is like in a closed community. A community that by trial and error develops its own codes and rules, balancing between individual freedom and collective harmony, but remains dependent on the goodwill of the society of which it is a part.

At the same time, MY LANDBOUWBELANG tells the bittersweet story of struggling filmmaker Frank van Valderen whose life for years was completely consumed by the turbulent production of this documentary.
