East Germany, 1989. Summertime. No one knows the Iron Curtain is about to fall. When twelve-year-old Fritzi‘s best friend Sophie goes on vacation to Hungary with her family, she leaves her little dog Sputnik with her. Fritzi lovingly takes care of Sputnik, who misses Sophie a lot. When school starts again in fall, however, Sophie doesn‘t come back. Fritzi has to face up to the fact Sophie’s mother has stayed in Hungary with her daughter, like so many other East Germans hoping to reach the West from there.

English The co-produced animated movie Fritzi: A Revolutionary Tale introduces children to an important historical milestone - the fall of the Iron Curtain and the opening of the borders in 1989 - in a very engaging and comprehensible way. I think it would not be a bad thing at all if they made more films like this, focusing of course on other historical events too. (80%) ()
