"Everything I did in Crass was inspired by the idea of 'Be exactly who you want to be,' which we put in our song 'Big A, Little A,' as a kind of practice, to dare people to dream of a world they want and to show them they have the power to reshape this world where they are told, 'no, you can't.'" - Penny Rimbaud -

From anarchist punk to conservative family man. 'Pinkel' chronicles the striking transformation of a young working-class man from Rotterdam. Once the voice of rebellion in his punk band, The Tändstickorshocks, he now navigates a quiet life, trading anti-establishment ideals for concerns about money and escaping the slum. Set against the backdrop of a decaying welfare state and the rise of right-wing extremism in 1970s Europe, this film is a powerful portrait of lost ideals and the search for a future in a changing world.
