The Elfkins - Baking a Difference

After centuries of banishment, the Heinzelmännchen dare to return to the surface of the earth. But their well-intentioned help first leads to chaos…

 

The Heinzelmännchen have already spent more than two centuries underground, but Helvi has had enough of the oppressive confinement. She sets off on an adventurous journey to the surface of the earth, where she wants to discover her true talent. After an initial exploratory tour with Kipp and Butz, she finally ends up with the grouchy Cologne pastry chef Theo. Helvi seems to have found her calling, even if Theo is not very enthusiastic at first. (from Kino.de)

Inspired by the famous saga and poem by August Kopisch.
