In thrilling children’s film, Paul with his protruding ears and other boys and girls take up arms against a president who wants to banish all ugliness from the Netherlands.
Familiar themes packaged in an absurdist approach. Under president Isimo, the Netherlands must be made clean and fresh. All ugly children are deported, but some escape and launch an uprising. Adapted from Koos Meinderts’ children’s book.
