Film won the youth jury prize at the Dutch Cinekid festival? The jurors praised ‘its fantastic atmosphere’ and ‘the mix of a serious story with a lot of humour’.
At Grandpa William's house, preparations are underway for a big wedding. Sixteen-year-old Jippie, the bride’s brother, is preparing for a musical performance and, in the meantime, falls in love with a new neighbour.
Everyone is excited about the upcoming wedding reception. Precocious Jaap Peter, or as his friends call him – Jippie, wants to surprise the newlyweds and sing them a few songs, but not everyone is ready for his party repertoire. At the same time, the boy is courting Lily, the friendly girl next door. But Jippie isn’t the only one with a lot on his mind! His sisters, Gail and Bart, are stressing out before making an important decision, and Grandpa William gets injured. Will he get better before the wedding? That is unlikely, but thanks to mutual understanding and cooperation, everyone will enjoy an unforgettable evening.
