Poster for Be Dear to Me

1957 · ★ 6.6 (5)

The Danish Ingen tid til Kaertegn (Be Dear to Me) is heavily reliant on the appeal of its star, 8-year-old Eva Cohn. Our heroine is the neglected child of a businessman father and actress mother. Feeling that happiness lies well outside her own backyard, Eva goes on a search for that happiness. The longer she stays away, the more her parents realize that they've unfairly ignored her. The plot is nothing new: it's what is done with it that pleases the eye and ear. Ingen tid til Kaertegn was one of the more popular entries in the 1957 Berlin Film Festival.

Toffee is the story of two girls belonging to polar ends of society brought together by their shared sense of freedom and hopefulness. While one of them is obliged to stay busy all day by helping her father earn a buck, the other chooses to stay busy all day in the absence of her parents.
