About this movie

Sonny Boy is the adaptation of the bestselling novel by Annejet van der Zijl, based on the true exceptional love story between two apparently ordinary people: Rika, a typical Dutch mother of four children, and Waldemar, a Surinam man seventeen years her junior. Their love can survive all the presumptions and obstructions of the cruel world outside but is finally unable to cope with the brutal and devastating power of war.
