Esta es la historia de la banda de música de Lagerwiede, que se divide en dos a causa de una disputa entre los propietarios de los cafés Geursen (Hans Kaart) y Krijns (Bernard Droog). Tras numerosos embrollos cómicos, milagrosamente, se unen de nuevo. (FILMAFFINITY)
“Ciske de Rat” belongs to the Dickensean “little man’s hard life” model and tells a deceptively simple story about a boy in modern Netherlands. Persecution, loneliness, adults’ hostility, fear, mixture of obstinacy and tenderness, and even an imprisonment. Excellent camera movement and delicate portraying of Ciske’s fragile soul put this film out of merely historical context and ensure its place in the history of great cinema.
