Onder de Blote Hemel plot

The story follows Elvie, a curious and headstrong young girl who lives in a mobile home in a wooded area with her mentally challenged mother - a loving but naive woman who struggles to understand others. The film is set during a long summer where Elvie's life is about to change forever. As she grows older, she begins to see and understand the world in a way her mother is unable to.

Beautifully presented story of an underexposed subject, namely people (parents) with a mild intellectual disability. It is becoming increasingly common in society for single-parent families to raise a child or children whose parent/carer has a mild intellectual disability. This movie brings back a very underexposed subject beautifully, painfully and very captivating in "Under the open sky"

Not a true youth drama about Elvie [Ylse Ringeling], who lives with her mentally disabled mother Emma [Rifka Lodeizen] in a mobile home on her grandfather's [Johan Leysen] forest campsite. Grandpa always keeps an eye on things, until an accident forces him to walk on crutches. Then Elvie has to rely more and more on herself. As a result, her relationship with her mother becomes increasingly worse. The story takes place during the summer, so Elvie can always play outside. You wonder how she survived the winter months. Not a word about Elvie's father, by the way, and Sijbesma's melancholy direction is no compensation for Ringeling's wooden acting and Lodeizen's mannered playing. Leysen and Joy Wielkens (as the understanding mother of two children with whom Elvis befriends) have the best moments.

Good film about a girl who lives on a campsite with her mentally challenged mother. The skewed relationship between mother and daughter is what this is all about. And the interaction between the two is excellently portrayed. Good acting by the three leading actors is certainly to blame for this, with Rifka Lodeizen balancing on the edge of overacting. Easily 3.5 stars.
