Not available in your country
The Dutch youth series centers on ten-year-old Floor (Bobbie Mulder), who shows in every episode how to deal with the most embarrassing situations and clarify important issues. Astets Floor meets the everyday madness of growing up with a shrug and a large portion of self-irony. Determined, she puts her foot in her mouth and yet remains unimpressed by all embarrassing situations: "It'll work out, as long as you know the right rules! *** Floor doesn't have it easy. For one thing, there's her obnoxious older brother Kees, her parents Irma and Jan, who have to go along with every supposed trend, or her grumpy neighbor, Mr. Abspoel, who can't stand the family. Whether it's swimming lessons, boys, or the first pet: between desire and reality, Floor quickly learns, there are sometimes worlds apart. So what do you do when your new classmate is much cooler than you are? Or you're given an ugly jacket that you don't want to wear? Floor purposefully puts his foot in his mouth, but is unimpressed by any situation, no matter how embarrassing. Rather pragmatically inclined, she also finds unconventional solutions where even adults despair. "The Rules of Floor" is based on the successful books by Dutch author Marjon Hoffman, who also wrote the scripts for the series. Each episode begins with a rule established by Floor himself, which is explained as the story progresses. Floor's crazy daydreams, absurdly funny situations that life writes and the dry humor of the series make the characters approachable and "The Rules of Floor" a television experience for the whole family. (Source: presseportal.de) Irma and Floor go to Ellie for a comfort visit, because she recently lost her cat. Irma's great idea is to have Floor wear the blue jacket that Ellie once made her herself, Floor's "favorite jacket." Of course, this backfires, because not only is the jacket quite hideous, no, Ellie even made one just like it.
