action

The story takes place in the picturesque Alps in the Salzburg region . There, by a mountain lake, the old, rich Grummel has retired in his country house and actually only wants to live in peace and seclusion. The longed-for peace and quiet will soon be over, because a home for less well-off holiday children will be opened in an empty house in the immediate vicinity, which will be run by the cheerful and optimistic teacher Miss Helm. Since children are loud and boisterous, while the old Grummel wants to devote himself entirely to his garden and the trees, loud conflicts inevitably arise, especially since the high-spirited children never miss an opportunity to play a few pranks on Grummel. Grummel is red with anger and bitterly defends himself against every new unrest that has seized his life, but without success.

The tense relationship only changes when one day the leader of the boys climbs Grummel's apple tree to steal his fruit and falls down in the process. The result is a broken leg. The old man comes in, takes the fruit thief into his house and takes care of the rascal again with great devotion. The ice between the two parties is broken, and the grumbling old hermit and the rascals of Miss Helms are gradually getting closer. When the old man finally dies unexpectedly, the once troubled relationship has turned into a real friendship. The children come together at Grummel's grave and mourn the old man's death. Miss Helm, however, who was also grumbling at the beginning, becomes the heir to his property and can now expand her children's home.

Reviews

In the mirror you can read: "Broadly spun, obtrusively colored, but in many places gladly taken off clothing."

In the lexicon of international films it says: "The artistic flaws and the sentimentality of the film are partly outweighed by the warmth and the natural play of the children."
