Peter Bell
Directed by Maria Peters
Produced by Shooting Star Filmcompany, Filmpool
A warm, playful coming-of-age story about a mischievous boy navigating childhood friendships and consequences in pre-war Rotterdam, grounded in period charm and youthful exuberance.
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.
