Life According to Nino (Het leven volgens Nino)
(77 min; 2014; Dutch with English subtitles)
Director: Simone van Dusseldorp
Recipient of the Cinekid Film Award for Best Children’s Film, Cinekid 2014; and Special Jury Diploma ‘Molodists for Kids’ programme, Molodist International Film Festival 2015
The film opens with an almost utopian portrayal of family harmony and happiness. The narrative begins on the birthday of the film’s lead protagonist, eight-year-old Nino who receives, as a gift — not the dog that he had wished for — but a rabbit. His disappointment is short-lived, however, and Bobby (the newly arrived rabbit’s name) is ready to join the happy family. This happy idyll is shattered by the death of Nino’s mother. Nino and his teenaged brother Lucas are left to deal with life on their own...
Life According to Nino takes a potentially dour story and infuses it with humour and vitality.
