Vraem luuj

About the power of language as a formative factor of a new identity. Sergej Kreso, a new Dutchman himself, portrays a Turkish policeman on the beat, an adopted Haitian boy (12), a dark-skinned drum major and a Slovenian miner’s daughter in his province of Limburg. By adopting the Limburg dialect, they started feeling at home in their new living environment and are no longer considered strangers. (Nederlands Film Festival)
