Happy Dinsdag (Happy Tuesday) - Full Short Film, English Subtitles

Four beautiful young women with the world at their feet, a penthouse in Amsterdam and a shitload of drugs. A killing combination for a Tuesday evening.

‘Happy Tuesday’ is a short tragicomedy about Desiree, a slightly naïve girl who doesn’t have a clue what to do with her life. On a random Tuesday night she asks her best friends for some much-needed advice. But the lines of coke, bumps of ketamine and sips of GHB make sure that the night takes a different turn than expected.

This short film by Dutch director Wouter van Couwelaar shows a certain self-indulgent generation. ‘I want to travel so I borrow money and go – I want sex so I Tinder – I want to feel happy so I do drugs’; the belief that life is changeable within a minute. ‘Happy Tuesday’ is a funny, confronting and staggering portrait of four young women who lose themselves in drugs for different reasons. And they don’t have a problem with that at all.
