Dora convinces Kootje to rent his room upstairs to her niece Rosita, but he soon takes offense to the young girl's hippie friends and tries to resolve matters between Dora and her brother Nico.

While Kootje is bedridden because of a bad back, Lukas is looking for a place of his own. Door's brother might have something for him.

Lukas learns that the city council plans to tear down the neighborhood in favor of a large flat. The locals immediately plan a protest night full of theater and songs. When it turns out his source is less than reliable, Lukas starts to worry.
