action

Ten-year-old Philipp, known as Lippel, has to stay home alone for a week because of a business trip with his parents and is supposed to be looked after by a woman Jakob, with whom he cannot get along at all. When this also takes away his book of fairy tales, Lippel just keeps dreaming the plot.

At the same time, two new Turkish children join Lippel's class, with whom he befriends and who even play an important role in his dream. The girl's name is Hamide and her older brother, who hardly speaks German, is called Arslan. In Lippel's dream world, the two become Prince Asslam, who has taken a vow of silence, and his sister, Princess Hamide. Even the stray dog that Lippel Muck calls plays a role in the dream. In the dream, however, Frau Jakob is the sultan's evil, scheming sister-in-law, who moves him to cast off his children for a trivial reason.

The children are to be banished from the country, but her aunt wants to get the guards accompanying them to kill them on the way. During a sandstorm, the three children manage to escape their guards and return to their hometown in disguise. There they are exposed to a number of dangers before they manage to penetrate the repentant Sultan in the palace.

While the framework story continues, the continuation dream also continues to develop. When Lippel's parents come home early in the end and Frau Jakob leaves angrily, they decide to finish the dream. Lippel then dreams the dream to an end: the angry aunt is finally banished and the king is happy that nothing has happened to his children and rewards everyone who helped Lippel and his friends.

The German Film and Media Assessment FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the rating particularly valuable.
