Gitaarjongens

What is the irresistible attraction of the electric guitar?

Doxy

Henny Vrienten claims that something like a "guitar boy" exists. As a collector and enthusiast, he dreams of bringing together the best guitarists in the Netherlands for a one-time concert. Director Erik de Bruyn shares his passion for guitars and, together with Vrienten, goes through rehearsal basements and attic rooms in search of the essence of the guitar boy. Why is it that, as a young boy, you can already fall so deeply in love with it that you want to own it, touch it, and tame it?
