En route(2019)

En route is a Dutch children's film following nine-year-old Inay and her brother as they spend a day off school accompanying their father on an errand across the city. Inay has a secret plan: she deliberately tries to delay their journey, banking on the reward of desserts that await them if they arrive late. What begins as a simple outing becomes a playful battle of wits between a determined child and her father's schedule. The film captures the logic of childhood—where a detour through the awakening city feels like an adventure, and sweets are worth the scheming. Warm and gently humorous, En route celebrates the small rebellions and imaginative negotiations that define a child's day.
