Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tomi Ungerer was a Holocaust survivor whose children's books often carried dark political undertones; this adaptation honors that tension between innocence and dread.
The 29-minute runtime made it ineligible for most feature awards, trapping it in festival purgatory despite winning the German Film Award for Best Children's Film.
