One of our first short films returns to TV. The story about the smallest woodcutter in town who wants to give his wife the biggest Christmas trees of them all, won the children’s film award “Goldener Spatz” in 2004. It has been a part of Kika’s December programming many times since. You can watch it as part of the children’s show “Siebenstein” this Sunday on TV as well as online (starting at 6:45 within the episode).
Just before Christmas one of our earliest films will be shown on TV. The film tells the story of Torvald, the smallest lumberjack in town, who wants to give his wife a present: the biggest Christmas tree of them all. The short film will be part of a Siebenstein episode on Sunday, 20th at 10:40 a.m. on KIKA.
At the end of the film, on Christmas eve, it’s just the two of them, Torvald and his wife Annicke, who can unwrap their presents under the Christmas tree. Maybe just like most of you who cannot celebrate with their loved ones this year. But hey! Now that you have more space than usual in your living room: was there ever a better chance to get an even bigger tree?
We hope you too will have happy holidays and a wonderful Christmas season.
