‘Meet the Fokkens’ Trailer Wants You To Say Hello to These 69-Year-Old Twin Prostitutes

If the Ben Stiller/Robert De Niro movies had been set in the red light district of Amsterdam with two flaxen-haired geriatrics on the verge of retiring from professionally giving hand jobs, it might have made more money. Or been better.

From writer/director Gabrielle Provaas, the documentary Meet the Fokkens (Ouwehoeren in its native tongue) is a portrait of said infamous district and Louise and Martine – two seasoned, sex worker sisters who still pull in money with their talents. The trailer promises candid, quirky conversations with them about vibrators, young hookers and hopefully they’ll share their stroopwafel recipe.

Check out the trailer for yourself:

Pimp-free.

The flick will play New York’s Film Forum on August 8, and more theaters might be forthcoming (so keep an eye out).
