The Dog of Flanders (1997)

Information

Description

The Dog of Flanders” tells the story of the orphan Nello. Raised by his grandfather, he did not have an easy childhood. His secret passion is painting, and one day, he wants to create magnificent paintings like his role model, Peter Paul Rubens. However, due to his grandfather’s poverty, Nello’s dream is likely to remain just that. Instead, day after day, the two of them have to take milk to the market in the nearest town to make ends meet.

One day, when they are back at the market, Nello notices how an ironmonger severely abuses his dog and uses it to pull his goods. Nello cannot bring himself to leave the dog behind and begs his grandfather to buy it from the trader – but for what money? His grandfather relents, but now he has to work even harder than before. So Nello takes his new dog Patrash home with him, but in the near future, he has to deal with a heavy burden of fate, with only his faithful companion at his side.
»Niklaas: Der Junge aus Flandern« erzählt vom Schicksal des Waisenkinds Niklaas. Der wird von seinem Großvater aufgezogen und verbringt keine leichte Kindheit. Seine geheime Leidenschaft ist das Malen, eines Tages will er prächtige Gemälde wie sein Vorbild Peter Paul Rubens erschaffen, doch aufgrund der Armut seines Großvaters wird Niklaas’ Traum wohl ein solcher bleiben. Stattdessen müssen die beiden Tag für Tag Milch zum Markt in die nächstgelegene Stadt bringen, um halbwegs über die Runde zu kommen.

Als sie eines Tages wieder auf dem Markt sind, bemerkt Niklaas, wie ein Eisenhändler seinen Hund schwer misshandelt und dazu missbraucht, seine Waren zu ziehen. Niklaas bringt’s nicht übers Herz, den Hund zurückzulassen und fleht seinen Großvater an, dem Verkäufer den Hund abzukaufen – doch von welchem Geld? Sein Opa lässt sich erweichen, muss aber nun noch mehr arbeiten als zuvor. So kommt es, dass Niklaas seinen neuen Hund Patrasch mit nach Hause nimmt, aber schon in naher Zukunft an schweren Schicksalsschlägen zu knabbern hat, in dem ihm lediglich sein treuer Gefährte zu Seite steht.
