Into Maarten's Head

Into Maarten's Head (Dutch: In het Hoofd van Maarten) is a 1977 Brunanter dramedy film directed and written by Paul-Jan Seelaar. The film, starring Antonie Breck and Robert Kahn, was well-received and became Seelaar's highest-grossing film.

Plot
The famous pianist Joris van Vlerken returns from a concert in Paris and accidentally meets Maarten, an old schoolmate. They decide to drink wine together at a fine restaurant. After a few rounds, they find out that coincidentally, they have both been to Paris recently. Maarten then suggests drinking a pill he was given in Amsterdam, which will swap their memories for about half an hour. Not realizing that they were in the same place, at the same time, and with the same people, the two men's reminiscence unfolds like a journal of memories.
