CGiii Comment

If you are going to make a controversial film tastefully, then this is the way to do it.

Definitely important...definitely divisive.

How child abuse differs from the legal definition than that of the childs' - a huge question, massive contention.

A very rare film with the utmost of charm.

Ultimately, brave.

The(ir) Blurb...

The story of a romantic relationship between a grown-up and a child. Set in the Netherlands near the end of WWII, the film is a flashback recalling an adolescent relationship between Jeroen and a Canadian soldier. A difficult subject handled with style and feeling.
