Karlchen

Film adaptation based on the book by the popular children's author and illustrator Rotraut Susanne Berner.

It's a glorious summer's day and little rabbit Karlchen is celebrating his fifth birthday! Actually - because Karlchen's little sister Klara falls ill and his parents have to take her to the doctor. The birthday picnic by the lake has to be postponed. Karlchen is disappointed and decides without further ado to go to his grandma. He packs his cuddly toys Teddy, dog and penguin into the handcart and sets off to visit Grandma Nickel. On the way, however, Karlchen takes a wrong turn and ends up in the forest. Luckily, his kindergarten friend Monika has followed his trail with her dog Bello. Together they continue on their way. A day full of adventures begins and thanks to Karlchen's courage and resourcefulness as well as his self-made birthday cake, there is still a big celebration in Grandma's garden with great presents and carrot cake with icing.
