Moeder, Waarom Leven Wij? plot

Mother, why are we alive? It is perhaps the most dramatic question you can ask, but little Netje from an Antwerp working-class background does not have an easy life. She is born as the fourth child in a family that cannot really feed all mouths, but is nevertheless the apple of father's eye. The shock is therefore great when Netje is confronted at a young age with the death of her father.

The book by Lode Zielens certainly has enough content to make it a decent film series and that succeeds at times, but not across the board.
Poverty is one of the threads that run through the story, leading to violent and irresponsible behavior that is often served as a surprise, unprepared and not always so well interpreted. The character traits of the characters can be made out clearly, but it didn't always have to be so explicit.
In fact a chronicle of a working family over a period of 20 years. Certainly not a rosy one, rather melodramatic, although it must be said that the event barely touches the point. In that respect, it could be much better if we consider that the scene of the begging and dying grandmother barely stirs emotions.
They have also spared the effort to make certain characters, such as Netje, played by Els Dottermans, look a bit older over the years, but as far as the pop music that spices the story is concerned, they have taken the time into account: from Al Jolsen's " Sonny Boy" from the late twenties to Johnnie Ray's "Cry" from the fifties. Actually quite a plus all those tunes.
Flemish series that will soon be 30 years old that only lasted one season. Actually quite surprising.
