Bears Love Me! (2019) 8

Netherlands | 2019 | 85 min.

Eight year-old Jip is delighted when her parents plan a bargain foreign holiday in a camper van to see wild bears. It's her dream come true. However, not everyone else in her family shares her delight. Her sisters and mum would rather be elsewhere. Only her dad feels the same way. Once they're abroad, the family quickly realizes that their dreams of simple adventure were naive and they struggle to cope with new and unfamiliar challenges in a scary foreign country.
