Synopsis:
Moritz (12) and his classmates are attending their first French class. But he does not only read the book – the textbook is so exciting that Moritz dives into it: …Paris, … the Eiffel tower, …and a crêpes stand. These are the reasons why this French class is no comparison to the maths lesson next door!
The film was made in context of a workshop in Berlin and Paris. 25 children were able to get an insight into professional film work and even be involved in the shooting. In short workshop units they gained informations about lightning, camera and scene structure.
