Abeltje

Classic Annie M.G. Schmidt adaptation by Ben Sombogaart (Het zakmes). Winner of a Gouden kalf for Best Film.

Ben Sombogaart adapted the adventures of eleven-year-old Abeltje, who works as a lift boy in a department store. On his very first day, Abeltje presses the wrong button, landing elevator and all in New York — the starting point of a series of exciting adventures.

Abeltje and his fellow passengers narrowly escape a kidnapping, get caught up in a coup, and ultimately end up in prison.
