Bartele Bûse - Miss Lize's Comb

When a magical comb falls into the hands of the helpful barber's son Bartele, not only does the hair of his customers grow, but also his father's greed accelerates, until a sorceress comes to Bartele's aid.

Bartele is a boy who always and everywhere finds all sorts of items and stashes them in his trouser pocket (bûse). He has amassed a whole collection of objects under his bed. At home, they consider his finds to be nothing more than dirty junk. But Bartele pays no mind to this. With every discovery, a magical world unfolds that completely captivates both Bartele and his family.

Bartele Bûse - The Comb of Miss Lize is the first part of a series of short films based on the European award-winning Frisian children's book Bartele Bûse.
