Well told story for young children

I have seen this movie with my 8 year old daughters. It tells a story about friendships which knows no obstacles. Fritzi is a twelve year old girl, living in eastern germany in autumn 1989. Her best friend leaves to hungary for a vacation, not knowing that her mother tries to escape to western germany. On her way to get her best friends dog, which she takes care of during her hungary "vacation", back to her best friend, she meets friends, meets the state security service and finally takes part in the peaceful demonstrations in Leipzig.

The story is well suited for young children of 6 or older, which maybe had already contact with this part of history (for e.g. we live about 5km from the old border between the two germanys). Even if you do not know this part of history, it is a good movie which shows the fear and the inexperience of adults and children in east germany, just weeks before the wall fell. Be sure, your kids will ask you about more informations about this historical topic after watching the movie.

A clear 10/10 for me.

Trivia
On of the posters on Fritzi's wall is a poster of Inka Bause who was a singer in the GDR and performed simply as "Inka" in the 1980s.

Goofs
At the hostel Fritzi pours water into a bowl for the dog, then guides him to the room behind the curtain. When she returns to her bag, the bowl is missing.

Quotes
Fritzi: [along with other protesters] We are the people.

Crazy credits
The closing credits are accompanied by real black-and-white photos of the actual protests in Leipzig 1989 and animated characters from the movie.
