Hein is a funny, heartfelt family series about an eleven-year-old boy who discovers he has the gift of connecting the living and the dead. When Hein reluctantly spends the summer with his quirky grandfather, he stumbles into a world full of unforgettable (and often hilarious) spirits with unfinished business. With the help of his gift — and some unexpected new friends — Hein sets out to help the dearly departed find peace, while learning valuable lessons about life, and the power of love.
Full of warmth, adventure, and just the right amount of spookiness, Hein is a supernatural tale with a very human heart.
NRC ★ ★ ★ ★ – ‘Beautiful series, unique subject, impressive how death isn’t portrayed as frightening here, but as inextricably linked to life. Just as love and grief belong together. We are all human, even in death, which makes Hein a touching and meaningful series for adults too.’
Trouw – ‘Family series Hein: a gentle breeze cutting through the harsh autumn chill.’
ND – ‘It’s impressive how this series, aimed at a young audience, manages to address such a heavy topic as death in a way that feels both light and deeply meaningful.’
Serietotaal ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ – ‘The series cleverly combines drama, light comedy, and a supernatural twist, all wrapped in an irresistible feel-good factor.’
