Trivia
The film couldn't be shot in the old city centre of Rotterdam, where the story takes place, because almost all historical buildings were destroyed by a German bombardment in World War II.

Go and see "Kruimeltje"

A lovely story about a boy, given away as a baby to a nasty woman, in search for his parents.

Filmed in the tradition of musicals like David Copperfield and Oliver Twist, without the songs and with the sense of reality that's typical for most Dutch movies. I quite liked it and the children too, apparently: a cinema full of little ones, silent as mice.
