Prelude tot de dageraad (1959)
Katja van Kalmpthout tells the story of a young woman caught between family expectations and her desire for independence. The daughter of newly wealthy parents, Katja rejects their plan to marry her off to a suitable suitor, determined to defy their petty-bourgeois prejudices. On her birthday, a grand party brings influential guests and potential matches to the family home, but Katja slips away to explore the city. There, she meets Chris, a recent graduate struggling to find work, and a tender romance blossoms. To stay with him, she must confront her parents’ rigid values, making for a charming and spirited tale of love, rebellion, and self-discovery.
Directors: Paul Berkenman, Raymond Cogen, Marcel De Backer.
