Υπόθεση:

The film tells the story of Bennie, a young boy in the year 1930. Through no fault of his own, he ends up in the big bag of Saint Nicholas. But how to revolt against the greatest children’s friend in the world?

Seaman’s son Benjamin »Bennie« Stout is a boy with a heart of gold who always gets himself into trouble. His St. Nicholas wish list includes a pedal car, just like the one the sneaky mayor’s son Roderick has. These are the depression years in the 1930s and because the haul falls short, his father stays in Spain a little longer to earn some extra money. Bennie now only has one wish left: that his father will come home. If need be, he will go and get him from Spain himself. He catches Roderick erasing his name from the Bad Children list in St. Nicholas’ Great Book when an idea occurs to him. He quickly adds his name to the list, which lands him a place in St. Nicholas’ bag. But the saint does not understand that Bennie doesn’t mind going to Spain.

Â»Bennie Stout« (freely translated as »I’m naughtyÂ«) is set during the great crisis of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Problem child Benjamin misses his father, who is working in Bilbao, Spain. The film combines a powerful and remarkably modern emotional subject with slapstick comedy and an original take on the Sinterklaas celebration.
