Magische Momente: Pauls Weihnachtswunsch

You would think that with the huge amount of money that the ARD and ZDF reap from overcharging households their so called TV Tax, that they would be able to produce something with production values that are higher than a youtube video.

The 9 year old Paul is devastated to see his parents separate. Dad is a work-o-holic doctor, Mom high pregnant by a new partner. Paul now has to leave his familiar home, to live with the "new Dad" and his teenage daughter. Christmas time is coming, and the new patch-work family could not be more dysfunctional.

Enter the magical "Christmas Angel", a life-size wooden sculpture created by Mom. Somehow the Angel gave Paul the super-power to penetrate walls. Does the kid not know that magic is only to be used for good, or else it will turn on you? - The predictable story, though far fetched, is entertaining and certainly has what it takes to bring the joy of the Season to TV screens everywhere. It's no Hollywood blockbuster, but for German standards a very palatable light Holiday treat.
