Did you know there are 2,900 floating homes in Amsterdam? Houseboats have been around Amsterdam for over 100 years—they used to be for the poor...now houseboats in Amsterdam can cost over 1,000,000€!

This is the story of Amsterdam's houseboats.

Stories in the film are adapted from the book "Boat People of Amsterdam" by Jowi Schmitz and Friso Spoelstra.
