New York City
Kevin Spacey directs Cloaca, a darkly comic examination of friendship and aspirations, by acclaimed Dutch writer Maria Goos. Four college friends are reunited in their forties, their lives finely balanced between hope and disillusion. Pieter is a bureaucrat, under investigation for misappropriating art from the council vaults; Jan is an ambitious politician, waiting for the call to ministerial office; Maarten is a philandering theatre director; and Tom, a coke-addled lawyer fresh from a spell in rehab.
