Zappelphilipp

The story is a bout a boy, 11 year old Fabian, and his first weeks in his new school. He gets into fights, runs away, gets on his teachers nerves. Fabian has ADS. Or does he?

In a wonderfully balanced movie that never takes sides, more questions are asked than answered. Does Fabian have ADS? Does ADS really exist? Is there a medical solution to his problems? How do you deal with kids who have big problems integration in groups? What can, what should schools do? How helpful are parents telling teachers what to do? How do we raise our kids? This is a beautiful movie asking fundamental questions. A little gem.
