‘Het Ritme van Elly de Waard’ portrays 72 year old Elly de Waard in all her manifestations: as a poet, a former pop journalist, feminist, stockbroker and as proprietor of the former resting house ‘Het Vogelwater’ in Castricum, North Holland, where she lives with her wife Marijke Weijters and their Jack Russel terrier.
But above all this film is a portrait of an uncompromising, driven personality that is willing to accept the consequences of her outspoken views and unconventional way of life.
The film was aired on National Public Television and can be seen here: Het Ritme van Elly de Waard
