Emil and the Detectives

Description

The holidays are here, and Emil is allowed to travel alone by train for the first time to his grandmother and cousin Pony Hütchen in Berlin. The money for grandma is safely stored in Emil's jacket, so he doesn't have to worry about the talkative man in his compartment... Emil nods off, and when he wakes up, the money is gone — and there's no trace of the stranger. Fortunately, he soon receives support from Gustav with the horn and his gang after arriving in Berlin! Erich Kästner's children's book still holds its excitement, warmth, and social-political significance after nearly a hundred years. The production sets the classic in the present day and makes it clear that solidarity and self-empowerment are as important today as they were then.
