action

Leonie has to go on a trip to see grandmother with her parents and her little brother Simon. Simon wants Leonie to read him the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood , but she refuses. A short time later, Simon gets hungry and the family goes out to eat together. While looking for the toilet, Leonie suddenly hears soft voices and eerie noises and is frightened. When Simon asks her again to read the story of Little Red Riding Hood, she reads the fairy tale with a different plot. Suddenly the car breaks down on a remote country road in the forest and the father has to walk back to the inn. Leonie, Simon and the mother are waiting for him and try in vain to light a fire.

When Leonie notices something red in the forest, she follows the mysterious figure into a cave and ends up in a fairy tale world, where she has apparently swapped roles with Little Red Riding Hood. She meets the boy Konrad, who is friends with Little Red Riding Hood and at first finds her strange because she uses unfamiliar words such as “hello” and “cool”. Leonie (in her role as Little Red Riding Hood) thinks the whole thing is a joke, but still agrees to meet Konrad. Then she comes to her “new” mother Elsa, who looks just like her own mother. Of course, Leonie doesn't know her way around the house and the mother is amazed at the strange behavior of her supposed daughter. The hunter Alfons, Elsa's clumsy admirer, comes to visit and talks to Little Red Riding Hood.

When Leonie meets Konrad, he shows her his new "foot pusher" (a primitive bicycle ). That night they meet again and Leonie tells Konrad that she is not really the right Little Red Riding Hood. Together they look for the mountain from which Leonie hopes to return to her world. But the nocturnal forest scares them and they turn back. As a precaution, Leonie tells Konrad what will happen to her the next day according to the original fairy tale.

In fact, the next morning her mother sends her to see her grandmother. First you meet two robbers who want to rob you, but are surprisingly driven away by the apparently friendly wolf. Leonie is suspicious, but in the end she lets herself be tricked by the wolf, who immediately runs ahead of the grandmother and eats her skin and hair. When Leonie looks for the grandmother, she too is eaten. In the meantime, Konrad has called Alfons for help, who accompanies him to the grandmother's house on the foot switch. They find the wolf asleep and Alfons cuts his stomach open so that he can free Little Red Riding Hood and grandmother. Together they fill the wolf with stones that eventually kill him. With this, Leonie has endured the fate of the real Little Red Riding Hood and is now allowed to return to her world through the mountain. At the same time, the real Little Red Riding Hood returns to the fairytale world.

Leonie happily greets her mother and Simon and learns that her disappearance has not even been noticed because no time has passed since then. Leonie now manages to light the fire because she learned it in the fairy tale world. A short time later, the father comes back, together with a farmer, who takes the family with his tractor to the next village to a car mechanic. During the trip, Leonie Simon tells the real story of Little Red Riding Hood.
