Synopsis
A delicious satire about business, greed, ambition and cheese - Edam's great moment in world literature. First published in Dutch in 1933, Cheese is a comic classic in Holland and Belgium. It is a delightful period piece, but also timeless in its skewering of the pretensions and pomposity of businessmen, as relevant now as it was when it was written., Frans Laarmans is a humble shipping clerk. One day he is suddenly elevated to the position of chief agent for a Dutch cheese company, with responsibility for Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Thrilled at the change in his status, he goes on leave and sets up an office at home. He takes delivery of ten thousand full-cream Edams... But running a business is not as straightforward as he thought. As the bulk of the twenty tons of cheese sits in storage, crates and crates of it, it starts to haunt him. And when his employer, the brusque Mr Hornstra wires him to say he is coming to Antwerp to settle the first accounts, Laarmans begins to panic.
