Ga niet naar zee
What on earth can an adult, childless man write to a kindergarten class? When a lone wolf finds a balloon with a note attached, he seizes the opportunity to pass on his hard-learned life lessons to the unknown infant that sent it.

In the process, unconnected generations find each other in this moving short film, based on a story by Tommy Wieringa.
