The right girl on the top photo looks very pretty, but I think she is not the main character
(I hope she *is* a girl and not a boy or something)

I hope she has still got enough screen time

Waiting for the DVD (BluRay?)

will keep an eye out.

hm, I think this is a Boy.

Definitely a girl - Anna Franziska Jager, born 1996 according to the movie's homepage.

I think you're talking about the person laying beside but still over the other person in the top pix. THAT would be 'Anna Franziska Jaeger' the actress playing Karo.. (Looking at the pix, Detzneff would be correct; the one on the 'right' is a boy... {UNLESS you're taking a stage managers point of view where STAGE right, YOU would be correct; it would be her! })

From the synopsis it seems the story is told from Karo's point of view. BUT that doesn't always mean she would have a lot of screentime... lol Look at the Bergman 'Classic' [??] 'Fanny och Alexander'... Titled after children of that name, they barely even talk, much less have any substantial screentime... So you never know..

YET when you view the trailer, she seems to have a VERY significant role... She's pretty much in 95% of the trailer, so let's hope THAT translates to the acutal film..

Part of the Variety review:

Precocious Karo (Anna Franziska Jager) and her parents, beautiful Dalia (Deborah Francois, "L'enfant") and charismatic Raven (hunky Matthias Schoenaerts), arrive at the squalid Amsterdam squat they share with other Belgian artist-revolutionaries as a tight family unit, but that soon changes. Rejoicing that "now we can live as we please," Raven declares a utopian society of no walls and no rules.

When Raven extends his credo to include "love as we please," and invites Dutchwoman Alice (Maria Kraakman) and her two children to stay, neither Dalia nor Karo is prepared for the repercussions; the scenes of nude adults (sometimes in sexual situations) and nude children sharing a bed will likely be too much for American broadcasters.

Long accustomed to being the center of her parents' universe, Karo becomes an unhappy outsider, observing the commune's tense emotional undercurrents from her indoor swing and retreating to a corner, hands over ears, when things get ugly. Her whispered conversations with a pet hedgehog reveal how much the unstable situation affects her.

Needing attention and instinctively seeking some boundaries, Karo befriends downstairs neighbor Jacky (Rifka Lodeizen), a former swimming champion who believes in discipline and willpower and pays for Karo to take swimming lessons. Although Karo ultimately earns her diploma in water rescue, there's nothing she can do to revive her parents' relationship.

Wow! This looks like one of the best OT-FLM-oriented movies to come out in years! Really looking forward to this being released on DVD.

Even better; I'm going to keep my eye out on the art-house cinemas in my area to see if they might pick it up for a showing. I'd LOVE to see this movie on the big screen!!

Many many thanks Detzneff, for bringing this to our attention!

I guess you are right. What a waste. Such a beautiful boy should be a girl...
