Ente, Tod und Tulpe is a German animated short film by Matthias Bruhn from 2010. It was based on the picture book of the same name by Wolf Erlbruch .
action
A duck notices that death is running after her. She speaks to him, and he admits that he has been around her all life - just in case something happens to her. However, he does not care for her death, but for life. Death holds a black tulip in his hands, which he strokes every now and then and then hides behind his back.
The duck and death wander around in autumn talking to each other. The duck tells death that some of her friends believe that after death they will go to heaven as angels. Others say that if you are not a good duck, you will go to hell and be fried. Death cannot tell the duck whether these ideas are true.
Autumn is going on, the leaves are falling. The duck persuades death to climb a tree with her. She believes that after her death the pond will be as empty as it is now when you look down from the tree. But death tells the duck that for them the pond will be gone after death. Together they climb down from the tree, because you get strange thoughts up high.
Winter is coming, the snow is falling and the duck is freezing. She asks death to warm her, and death gently takes her in his arms. The duck dies. Death carries them to the lake and places them on the water. He lays the tulip on top of it and lets the duck drift over the water and down a river. The speaker admits that death was almost a little sad, but was aware that this is how life is.
production
Ente, Tod und Tulpe was based on the picture book of the same name by Wolf Erlbruch. Matthias Bruhn as director and Richard Lutterbeck as producer had previously filmed two other stories of Erlbruch - The Big Question and About the Little Mole Who Wanted to Know Who Hit his Head . Erlbruch himself was involved in the making of the film in an advisory capacity. The aim was to stay as close as possible to the original book. A change has been introduced for the tulip: if it is only seen at the end of the book in connection with the death of the duck, in the film death carries the flower with it at the beginning and finally hides it from the duck so that the flower does not appear until the End comes back into the picture after the duck death.
Production of the film began in spring 2009 and ended in February 2010, with pure animation lasting four months. The ten-person animation team included Victor Ens and Reynald Sommerkamp . The film premiered on July 1, 2010 at the Munich Film Festival.
