–Comment: Mainly one blonde pigtailed girl in a medium blue sailor dress. Long matching collar, white boarder. Also some few front views but few and brief scenes and most from a distance. Also Dutch boys in historical clothes, shorts knickers, white underwear (side view) or less (brief rear view only). Few uniforms (men only).

I have now completely rechecked this DVD. I used to buy these coming of age movies ~15 years ago. Great plot and handsome boy (Maarten Smit), but for some reason one of my least watched movies.

Better are of course the other scenes of the boy.

English title: For a Lost Soldier. Autobiographical novel by Rudi van Dantzig. Produced by Matthijs van Heijningen (Ciske de rat, Kees de Jongen).

The German DVD has Dutch audio only (Dutch/German subtitles). RC0.

Sailor dress scenes ~rating 3. Movie rating 7-8. Translated novels are OOP and usually very expensive. A Dutch ebook is available including longer preview.
