While I don't speak the language and had no subtitles, I thoroughly enjoyed this story of the nativity from the Dutch point of view. First of all, the music is so infectious and so captivating that I didnt need visuals. The story is one of Dutch people going about their business as a strange baby is born. it is party time and everyone wants in on the act. The shepherds are wonderful as are all participants. What a great little animated film.

Dutch cinema often combines understated realism with offbeat humor, tackling moral ambiguity and social change. It balances intimate storytelling with bold, sometimes provocative, visual styles. Dutch films combine art-house sensibility with grounded storytelling, reflecting the country's open, yet quietly complex culture.
