PHILIPP DER KLEINE

PHILIPP THE SMALL

GDR, 1976, 70 Min

Philipp is much too small for his age. He suffers agonies about his stature, and tries all he can to look bigger. One day he is given a magic flute. At last, it seems, he’s found the solution: All he needs to do is play a beautiful tune, and he can shrink or enlarge things. But wherever he attempts to deploy his magic flute to a good end, he only causes confusion. It is only when his flute loses its magic powers that he finally receives the recognition he sought: Thanks to all his practice, he has become a great musician.
