The Berlin International Film Festival 2005 winner of the Glass Bear for Best Feature Film, MontrĂ©al International Children’s Film Festival 2005 winner of the Grand Prix de MontrĂ©al and Toronto Sprockets International Film Festival for Children winner of the Young People’s Jury Award for Best Film – Jury Age 12 Directed by Mijke de Jong, this 2004 follows Merel, a 12-year-old girl, who is a victim to harassment at school. Not because she is shy, stupid or ugly. Merel sings in a musical, excels in all subjects and is a sports fanatic. But she becomes the butt of a power scheme. At home, she shows no signs of what is going on. Neither towards her parents, nor towards her adopted handicapped brother. But as the harassment intensifies, Merel loses her innocence. Cast: Ingeborg Ansing, Elsie de Brauw, Benja Bruijning, Anne Buurma, Fred Goessens, Edward Haak, Bright O’Richards, Elske Rotteveel, Kees Scholten, Jaap Spijkers
