Miss Kiet's Children

Miss Kiet's Children

New country, new language, new teacher. This is the experience of most of the children joining the special introductory class at the elementary school in the Dutch village of Hapert. Coming from countries like Syria and Iraq, they have all been through a lot. Fortunately, their teacher is Miss Kiet – strict but fair, patient, kind, and concerned. Nevertheless, the teacher only plays a supporting role in this observational documentary. Filmed from the perspective of the children, the result is moving, often funny, and sometimes sad, but most of all, it gives cause for hope.
