The Little Ark 52 years old

Amidst a rushing flood of adventure they learned more about love and courage than most people do in a lifetime.

This heart-rending family-oriented drama chronicles the adventure of two Dutch children who temporarily lose their father and mother during the great flood of 1953. Fortunately, they and their animals are taken in by a salty old boatman who helps them reunite with their father.
