Het Boek van Alle Dingen

The devoutly religious father of 9-year-old Thomas imposes strict rules on his family, that make a significant impact on all of their lives. However, Thomas’ vivid imagination helps him find ways to escape his oppressive reality. With the support of his friend Jesus and his open-minded neighbor, Thomas begins to rebel against his father, drawing both his rebellious teenage sister and his obedient mother into the uprising.

Happiness begins when you stop being afraid.
