De Witte Piet

This film features four children, Raimón, Fina, Isa, and Maribel, who were born in the Netherlands but find themselves excluded from the Big Book of Sinterklaas. The Head Piet declares that since their names are not included, they do not exist and will not receive any gifts. This premise explores themes of identity and belonging within a festive context.

With a cast that includes Adrie van Oorschot, Piet Römer, and Sylvia de Leur, De Witte Piet presents a blend of music and storytelling. The film captures a moment in Dutch television history with its focus on cultural narratives during the holiday season. As a TV movie from the early 1970s, it offers a glimpse into the era's approach to children's programming and holiday celebrations.
