Family

Peter is a cheerful -- but not very obedient -- boy from a very ordinary family in pre-war Rotterdam. His many pranks amuse some and cause a lot of trouble to others, even making the front pages of the big city newspapers. His growing popularity brings him many new friends, but also some very powerful enemies.

VIBE

A nostalgic trip back to a simpler time, this film feels like a warm hug. It’s full of youthful exuberance and the gentle chaos of childhood, wrapped in a charming, old-fashioned aesthetic.
