Children’s film about a kidnapped boy who grows up with Gypsies. Roberto is the heir of a rich baroness. His parents are dead and a woman who wants to claim his inheritance has him kidnapped so that she can have everything for herself. The boy grows up among Gypsies and at one point, they take him with them to break into the baroness’ castle. With the help of a couple of friends, however, he is able to thwart their plans and, in the end, he is recognised as the rightful heir.
Director Henk van der Linden is regarded as the pioneer of the Dutch children’s film. He made some forty feature length films between 1952 and 1985, often based on popular children’s books and cartoons, such as ‘De avonturen van Dik Trom’, ‘Sjors en Sjimmie’ and ‘Billy Turf’ (Billy Bunter). Van der Linden, who liked to keep an eye on every aspect of the production, not only directed, produced and edited the film, he also wrote the screenplay, designed the sets and worked behind the camera.
