Iles flottantes or 'floating isles' is the name of a well-known French dessert: meringue drizzled with vanilla cream. The movie's title symbolically relates to three friends, Kaat, Sasha and Isa, who are drifting freely along the current of life. They live their lives with an amusingly ironic confidence, but now that they are approaching thirty the realisation comes that everything in life is far from being just a joke...

Bijlmer Odyssey is a romantic comedy about two young lovers who were made for each other. Lost and separated from each other in a labyrinth of high-rise flats, they become entangled in comical adventures and meet colourful locals who ultimately help them find each other again. With a nod to the classical Odyssey of Homer, this heart-warming, big-city comedy of errors provides an unusual and enchanting view of the Bijlmer, a low-income estate district on the outskirts of Amsterdam.
