Film synopsis:

A nine year old boy (Pepijn Borst) lives in a world which, seen through his eyes, is deeper and more mysterious than a superficial glimpse would suggest. Sometimes the most simple things in life contain sheer beauty and enchantment. But the boy is lonely too, because he cannot share his experiences with others. Who sees what he sees? Who hears what he hears? And who dreams what he is dreaming?

Film reviews:

http://www.deweekkrant.nl/artikel/2010/oktober/06/speelfilm_zonder_voorgekauwd_plot/ "Intrigerende film, waarbij je eigenlijk niet hoeft na te denken maar die des te meer aanzet tot nadenken. Gaat het over een kind of nog kind kunnen zijn? Waar zijn we allemaal zo druk mee de hele dag? Ook dit kind is bezig, maar dan heel, heel anders. Een lofzang op het ervaren en beleven." - Hans van Keken Translation of the above: "Intriguing movie, which can be seen intuitively, but which provokes you to shed some serious thought. Is it about a child, or is it about being able to still be a child? What is it that we are all so busy with all day long? This boy is busy too, but in a very, very different way. It's a song of praise about experiencing and undergoing life." - Hans van Keken
