Bulad : This year's Dutch entry for the Oscars is Bulad . The eleven-year-old Kenza lives with her father Ouira and grandfather Wljo on a junkyard in the countryside of Cura ao. The down-to-earth and avoidant mentality of her father Ouira no longer offers her all that she needs and Kenza slowly opens up to the more mystical and comforting traditions of her grandfather. Bulad launches on March 5th in the Netherlands and will be available on April 1st in Belgium, Luxemburg, Aruba, Bonaire, Cura ao, St Eustatius, Saba, St. Maarten and Surinam. Link to stills.

One evening he is violently robbed by a group of teenagers and loses his most prized possession: an expensive watch.
