Eleven-year-old Hein is captivated by his grandfather’s unconventional job – caring for a cemetery. When Hein spends his summer holiday at the graveyard, he discovers that he has the ability to communicate with spirits through supernatural powers. He isn’t afraid when spirits seek his friendship and enlist his help to resolve their unfinished business in the living world. It becomes his mission to offer guidance and relay messages between spirits and their loved ones, all while discovering the power of compassion and the importance of living life to its fullest.

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.’
