Rasmus and the Vagabond

Once Rasmus escapes from the orphanage, he meets on his way a friendly and kind wanderer Oscar, who first persuades him to return to the orphanage, and later allows him to stay and make a living by singing and chopping wood for the old ladies. They spend many unusual, dangerous and interesting adventures together, and reveal the big thieves Lifa and Liandra in the city. In the end, everything goes well and Rasmus finally finds his new family, a warm home and feels what it’s like to live a family life.

Directed by Staš Potočnik, Astrid Lindgren, Rasmus and the Vagabond leans on a strong ensemble — Dare Ulaga, Dragan Kecman, Veronika Drolc — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 1971.
