Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Curious Conjunction of Coincidences (original title "Een bizarre samenloop van omstandigheden") is a short Dutch film. It is a graduation film by the Netherlands Film Academy. Winner of the Aspen Shortsfest Best Comedy award 2012, Audience Favorite Palm Springs Shortfest 2012, and the Youth Award Odense Festival 2012.The film tells about three men from different eras: Ferdy Bloksma (a construction worker working on a new subway tunnel in 2011), Erich Reinhart (a German soldier in World War II) and Jacob van Deyck (a man responsible for transporting wooden pilings to Amsterdam for the construction of the Royal Palace of Amsterdam in 1649). All three of them have a rough day, and make a big mistake because of it. On their own, these misstakes don't immediately have an impact, but combined they eventually lead to the destruction of Amsterdam.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The whole film (with English subtitles) can be found here.

Drill Sergeant Nasty: Erich's major, who first gives him a verbal tantrum in front of the other soldiers and then forces him to polish the shoes of his entire platoon because he showed up late for the morning roll call.

Artistic License – Chemistry: the inferior type of wood that Jacob accidentally chooses for the pilings, along with the marshy ground of Amsterdam, lead to a chemical reaction that eventually results in a large gas bubble underneath the whole city center.
