Plot

In the charming Frisian village of Lenten, things are picking up again after a period of calm. First, Hielke and Sietse meet a new Belgian girl named Marieke, who has recently moved in with her mother, Veerle, to a small house owned by the wealthy miser Klompsma. Next, the money-hungry real estate developer Piet Haan arrives in Lenten, with plans to build a highway and a gated community right through the village. However, this will require the demolition of much of the town, including Marieke’s house, as well as the “Woudaap” windmill, the symbol of Lenten.

When the plans leak out, protests among the residents grow so intense they even result in a violent brawl. Meanwhile, Ronnie Haan, Piet’s sadistic son, along with his buddy Sjonnie, deliberately throws Marieke, who suffers from severe asthma, into the water. Marieke becomes seriously ill and can only be cured at an exorbitantly expensive Swiss health resort. Hielke & Sietse, along with their friends, try to raise money in all sorts of ways. Among other things, they rescue a horse and enter it in a race, but their efforts are in vain; Piet Haan seems set to succeed. Only the unyielding Klompsma, who owns the most land in town, still has to sign off on the plans. The tide turns when, during a storm, the twins save a boy from drowning, unaware of the secrets he carries with him.
