User review:

I came across the film on the plane of a Chinese airline. I was bored on the plane, but the film made the 14-hour trip so much better. It’s the best family movie I’ve ever seen in my life, and I truly would like to recommend it to everyone. Even though I don’t speak Dutch and minimum German, I understood the film almost perfectly and I was truly captured by the wonderful story and the most beautiful music. I don’t know why this film isn’t more famous. It deserves all the credit and views since the young actor and director and everyone else all did a great job. Still, I love writing, and I sincerely wish that after some time, when I’m done with my work so far right now, I can novelize the film.
