Confetti Harvest (2014)
Set in the 1980s, young Catherine (12) grows up in a strict protestant farming family in Zeeland in the south of Holland. As the only girl among six brothers, she is hardly involved in the daily work and feels left out of the day-to-day conversations at the dining table. She lets her fantasy run wild through Bible stories, gossip and even fairy tales, though these are not allowed, as they keep her away from the Truth. For her, however, reading and learning are the only ways to transcend her daily life. Finally, during her brother’s wedding, she literally overwhelms her family with literature, leaving her childhood behind, ready to become who she wants to be.
