De Achterblijvers

How do you tell your classmates that you're staying home this summer while they talk about faraway destinations and exciting adventures? What do you do when you are ashamed because there is no money at home for a hot meal, let alone a holiday? How do you make a summer in your own neighborhood a constant time? The new BNNVARA drama series 'De Achterblijvers' follows Sven, Wiggert, Alicia and Hamza; four children die forced to stay at home while their classmates leave. What first feels like a summer full of missed opportunities quickly turns into an adventure they will never forget.

The Book of Everything

The 1960s, Netherlands. Thomas doesn’t realise it yet, but he has special powers. The nine-year-old sees things others cannot. He lives in a strict, religious family where his father, quick to cite the word of God, often resorts to violence. As a sense of injustice grows within him and a longing for freedom takes hold, Thomas begins writing his Book on Everything. In it, he wishes for his father’s punishment and encounters a host of unusual characters: Jesus Christ, a levitating lady with a piano-loving cat, tropical fish swimming in city canals, a young peg-legged witch living next door, and many others.
