Die Zeit der Kraniche is a German drama film directed by Josh Broecker . In the film, which was broadcast for the first time in 2010 , twelve-year-old Lea finds an abandoned baby. This brings back memories in her: she was also abandoned by her mother. The film is often just called the time of the cranes .
action
The 12-year-old Lea lives in the rural seclusion of the Havelniederung with her father, who is strongly committed to environmental protection against the economic interests of the local residents. While watching a crane you will find an abandoned newborn baby in the forest. The child survives. Lea later meets the mother who is wanted by the police. Throughout the entire plot, Lea suffers from the emotional conflict that her own mother, who - as she was told - died in a traffic accident when she was a baby, did not accept her as a child and did not love her.
While a storm is raging outside, there is a discussion with the father, who confesses to her that Lea's mother had taken her own life. The baby's mother is also in Lea and her father's house. While the house on the ground floor was flooded by the storm, there was a conciliatory discussion in the attic: the woman wants to face the police and raise the child. Lea, apparently asleep, hears the statements of her father, who has accepted the common fate and tries to make the best of it, Lea's inner conflict is resolved and she accepts her real family history as her fate.
Reviews
"Josh Broecker stages this mixed situation [from frequently used topics] like a photo calendar from the nature conservation association, the pictures seem a tad too romantic and impressionistic [...]. Bernd Schir plays touching, but sometimes has to be visually put into the picture like a model from the 'Lands End' catalog. Floriane Daniel is the motherly woman with verve and is immediately decipherable for the viewer as the right one, who can bring father Lutz out of his spiritual isolation. The twelve-year-old Stella Kunkat plays Lea very talented, but is understandably also overwhelmed when she has to fill the precocious dialogue sentences with childlike life. Manfred Zapatka is an exception as an understanding inspector who is the only one who does not seem to fit into this area at all, but calls it home with loving credibility. "
