Neelie Kroes is an icon: the woman who broke through all the glass ceilings. A colorful politician, mother and wife who, after many political and personal complications, eventually becomes one of the most powerful women in Europe.

Why are so few women reaching the top? How did Neelie manage to reach the top in a male stronghold? How did she combine work and private life? Is Neelie an inspiring role model for Dutch women today?

A wildly topical drama with Shakespearean slant about the desire for power and being a woman in a man's world. In addition to Neelie Kroes, other political celebrities also pass by, such as Ruud Lubbers, Bram Peper and Pim Fortuyn.
