****
When Hans' father is hurt repairing a dike, young Hans drops out of school to take care of his family. But the Netherlands in the 1860's were a hard place to find work and try as he might Hans can't find enough work to pay for both his family's food and the medicine his father needs. He is fast though, and when he hears that the prize for the annual 26-mile skating race is 300 guilders, he enters in the hope of winning the money his family and father so desperately need. This is a great film for showing how we should love our neighbors in need, and a wonderful sports movie without the typical sports ending. The only downside is that this Dutch tale is done with an entirely Swedish cast, and thus the accents are all wrong.
