action
Princess Clara lives in a very small kingdom and everyone laughs at her. Clara is different. Unlike what everyone thinks, how a princess should be. Who cares that she's nice and a horse stealer? A princess has to be lovely and good. Skillful with the embroidery needle and elegant on the dance floor of the court ballrooms. It's just a shame that Princess Clara is neither well-behaved, nor really elegant and by no means masters the use of needle and thread.
When Clara has to flee from her big sister and her mean friends after a terrible mishap in the hated behavior class, she hides in a forgotten chamber in the castle. There she discovers an old book of fairy tales. Here's a great idea. If she does what the princesses in the storybook do, then all of her problems will dissolve with pleasure. She will be a famous princess, everyone will love her and her parents will be proud of her. At least that's the plan.
The implementation, however, turns out to be much more difficult. Fortunately, Clara can rely on the help of her only friend, the a little too small court jester Michel. He is not very enthusiastic about the princess’s plans, but abandoning her goes against his court jester honor. But who has the heart to throw a frog against the wall? And kissing alone is not enough either. This only leads to small green frogs jumping around croaking all over the castle, which Clara's father doesn't like at all. Not only does the wolf have terrible bad breath, it is also far too dear to eat anyone. And the idea with the long hair hanging from a tower window is pretty good. But who is expecting a hungry horse that discovers its preference for princess hair after it has run away from Prince Ermelin? In short: one disaster follows the next.
King Heinrich is not pleased. Can't Clara just be like her older sister Quendolin? He really has no time for such nonsense, as the big reception for Prince Pfauenherz is coming up in the next few days. Much depends on the reputation of the little kingdom. Quendolin is determined to win the beautiful prince for himself so that he can live in luxury as the queen by his side.
Of course it comes as it has to. Prince Pfauenherz stumbles over the shoe that Clara has provided. And instead of sticking it by the princess's foot, he falls headlong down the long reception stairs. The disaster is complete. The prince is pissed off, the sister beside herself, the parents bitterly disappointed. And even court jester Michel turns his back on Princess Clara. But just as everything seems lost, she meets Prince Ermelin, who is looking for his hair-eating horse and who has heard of the strange princess named Clara. And Prince Ermelin likes strange things. Very happy. Which may be because he's not a prince like everyone else. Together they save the wolf that Clara has taken in her heart from the hunter's shotgun. And so in the end Princess Clara finds someone who likes her for who she is. Even if she is not famous or knows how to embroider perfectly.
Together they move into the big wide world to explore it with their friends, the court jester, a horse, a wolf, a sheep and one or two frogs.
Reviews
"A feature film debut based on a children's book that doesn't shine with humor or directorial ideas, but rather spreads the aura of an amateur play when faced with overwhelmed actors and spreads boredom quickly instead of child-friendly entertainment."
