Der Film zeigt in loser Aneinanderreihung Personen, die in Kellerräumen ihren Obsessionen nachgehen. Neben nur kurz gezeigten Szenarien wie gelangweilten Jugendlichen, einem Schlangenbesitzer, dessen Riesenschlange ein Meerschweinchen tötet, einem Mann hinter seiner Modelleisenbahnanlage, Frauen in einem Waschkeller, einem Schwimmer in einem Mini-Schwimmbecken oder einem Ehepaar, das seinen Keller präsentiert, in dem schon lange nicht mehr gefeiert wird, etabliert Seidl wiederkehrende Charaktere.
Heute keine Spielzeiten für In the Basement in Amsterdam.

I didn't like this film but here is my ranking of the people and their basements:1. Mini bar couple: No thoughts, head empty. Just sitting there in their private bar and wearing matching outfits.2. Model train guy: I very much like his train, and that incredible mural.3. Catholic needle lady: She seems chill idk.4. Laundromat women: Just standing there… menacingly.5. Emo teens: I feel threatened yet oddly comforted.6. Fake baby lady: She just likes holding fake babies, and that’s okay.7. Semen guy: “I can shoot off a very powerful load of semen.” One of the better looking basements. 8. Shooting range guy: He needs to hang out with people that aren’t islamophobic. I hope his singing career takes off.9. Locker room guys: They sleeb. Do not disturb.10. Expensive furniture couple: Their basement is pretty ugly, but they only use it for birthdays so it's okay.11. Snake guy: That snake is beautiful, but I felt sorry for the guinea pig.12. Sound equipment guy: I can't tell if this is a new guy or not. But he looks like he’s on a space ship.13. Treadmill guy: Yeah idk he just runs. Is this the same basement as swimming pool guy and rower guy? I can’t tell.14. Cock & ball torture couple: I'll never forgive my professor for making me watch this. Not to kink shame those people though.15. Ammo guy: I just don’t like his vibe.16. Trophy hunter guy: Not my favourite type of guy. I appreciate him not having eaten a baboon though.17. Nazi guy: Well, he’s a fucking nazi. And his music is shit.
As someone who has never had my own basement as an adult, I forget what sacred spaces they are. You can tuck something away, memorialize something, make a holy tomb all your own.
