Op Hete Kolen: Het Leven volgens Emile Ratelband

Emile is completely done with the Netherlands. Together with his son Emilio, he travels through Thailand to find a suitable place to raise his ninth child. In the meantime, he has to complete various matters in the Netherlands. He still has a building full of homeless people and addicts, a container full of junk and an illustrious past that he wants to leave behind.

Emile looks back on his failed marriage to his first wife Jenny and delves deep into his father's troubled past. Meanwhile, Emile has his hands full with quarreling homeless people and the future of edible insects, while also raising his youngest son.

Emile discusses the infamous tapes that allegedly show that he assaulted his second wife. In between he performs one more time and it is time for the addicts and homeless to leave Villa de Rijn. A meeting with his former biographer, meanwhile, brings out the necessary anger in him.
