Youth film about a boy looking for his father.
The 12-year-old Luuk - red hair, small and petite stature - has never met his father. It is the strongest man in the Netherlands, says his mother. Enough reason to look for him. Powerhouse René, like Luuk, has red hair, so that must be his father, he quickly concludes.
Growing up with his single mother, who says his absent father is 'the strongest man in the Netherlands', gets over more difficult for schoolboy Luuk, who at age twelve desperately needs a male role model, so he wants to find him. His new classmate helps him start a search by Inyernet, which yields a list of suspects they systematically eliminate or contact. Meanwile his mother's burly boyfriend René, a muscular friendly giant, also a ginger, virtually acts as substitute father, even partakes in the Dutch strongest man competition.—KGF Vissers
