"Like Gerard Blain in Le pelican, René van Nie has chosen the tragic theme of a father who loses his child theough a divorce. He kidnaps the boy from school and flees with him through Holland and Belgium. René van Nie has managed to turn a slice of reality about divorce problems into a moving fairy-tale fantasy. There is a lot of poetry in the way René van Nie has observed this weak man who has escaped his responsibilities." (Bob Bertina)
