Fabulous children's film about the life of a mayfly
If only wild boar and fox had left quickly instead of watching the mayfly hatch. Now they have to realise that the young fly is downright adorable. But who will teach it that it only has this one day to live? Without further ado, they claim that the fox is doomed to die. And lo and behold: the newly hatched fly decides, full of compassion for her new friend, that now her whole life has to go into one day – a whole life including great happiness!
"Nur ein Tag" is a funny and profound fable about the meaning of life and the precious gift of friendship. The award-winning children's author Martin Baltscheit has filmed his successful play and radio play himself and has the animals portrayed by actors. No tricks, no masks – pure poetry! A delightful film for children from 5 years on, which also appeals to adult audiences. With Karoline Schuch, Lars Rudolph, Aljoscha Stadelmann and Anke Engelke. Winner of the German Film Critics' Award for Best Children's Film 2017.
