Movie description:
Young Barend is worried about the safety of the sailing vessel he is on. The owner is an unscrupulous and stingy man who skimps on repairs and Barend becomes aware of this. Inevitably there is drama and tragedy. The film is set in an early 20th century Dutch fishing village with local period costume and colour.
While at port, a young teenage boy learns that the owner of the ship he sails on has no intention of upgrading the vessel to make it safe. Will anyone listen to our hero’s warnings? A well done yet very talkative film.
Kniertje is a widow who lives in a small fishing village and has lost her husband and two sons to the sea. She is now raising her remaining children alone. One of the prominent citizens in the village is a ship owner by the name of Clemens Bos, his daughter falls in love with Kniertje’s youngest son Barend.
