Kauwboy
Director:
Boudewijn Koole
Times are hard for Jojo. This ten year old boy lives alone with his father in a rural area. And what about his mother? Is she really touring the U.S. as a country singer? The father tries to hide his despair. But he drinks and is out of control. Jojo’s only solace is a young jackdaw that has fallen out of his nest, and which he secretly takes in. Rearing the little bird, which is even more vulnerable than himself, gives Jojo a feeling of happiness and responsibility.
