A self-portrait of the Van der Elsken family, with his heavily pregnant wife Gerda in the lead role.

The film is also a portrait of the energetic life of this neighbourhood, of which the Van der Elskens are an integral part.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Welcome to Life, Little Love is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1963. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
