The âKindertelefoonâ (Child Helpline) in the Netherlands provides a listening ear. One girl talks about being home alone virtually all week; anotherâs sad because her parents are getting divorced. A boy in an asylum seekersâ center is worried about the future, while another boy doesnât want to be gay and hopes these feelings will pass. Every day, the Kindertelefoon takes calls like these from children who want someone to talk to. But children also call to talk about their pets, to practice their audition for The Voice Kids or to make pranks. The recordings of these phone conversations are accompanied by images that quite literally give color to the conversations, and that beautifully reflect their toneâsometimes hilarious or naughty, but more often sad or heartrending.
