About Thomas en Senior op het Spoor van Brute Berend
One day, as Senior wanders aimlessly through the city, his attention is drawn to demolition workers tearing down an old building. Among the rubble, Senior discovers an old model ship. He takes it home and begins studying old ship logs and nautical charts. Thomas also shows interest, and before he knows it, he finds himself embarking on a new adventure with his friends and Senior.
Directed by Karst van der Meulen, Thomas en Senior op het Spoor van Brute Berend leans on a strong ensemble — Lex Goudsmit, Jérôme Reehuis, Bart Steenbeek — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1985.
