-Comment: Oliver Grimm (pictured) in dark blue bibs. Backside suspenders only. Partly farm content and also with black rubber boots (pic below). Cycling scenes (or rather sitting at front of a bike while a man is cycling). He also wears lots of other pants (shorts, standard jeans and beige pants), also pajamas (I think also a nightshirt while walking in a barn). At the end also grey shorts (not Lederhosen) and a Tyrolean hat. And several other boys ~9-11 ys in different short and long Lederhosen (see my Lederhosen blog).

Film and plot is quite good. But I don't like young Oliver Grimm nor those bibs (backside suspenders). Some good scenes while sitting (front and side view) and walking over chairs and other furniture (inside and outside).
And only some few and very short Lederhosen scenes (also rating 4/10). One scene at school (inside class and playground). And some scenes are night scenes where he ran away. Riding scenes but not in bibs. So I can't rate any higher than 4 for bib scenes of this young boy.

I think only released on VHS (which aren't available any more). Not to be confused with the 1994 documentary or 1938 version.
