In A Good Turn Daily the rebellion and idealism of Van Dijk's earlier films make way for a more cynical approach. A boy scout tries to help everyone he encounters, but before he can lend a helping hand he is already distracted by the next problem. A mix of historical recordings and animation film, Van Dijk's short is a visual display of animation forms and techniques.
