Little Heroes
Directed by Lydia Bruna"Little Heroes" is the story of two friends Lena and Basti, who aspire to be real action heroes. Lena and Basti are inseparable and love playing firefighters in an old car on Lena's family's backyard. When Lena finds out that the local youth fire department is looking for new recruits, the two friends see their big chance. But the first exercises are more difficult than expected, and Lena and Basti's friendship is put to the test: Basti sprays Lena with the heavy water hose, to loud laughter from the other children. She embarrasses him in front of the other children because he is afraid of fire. Lena actually feels sorry right away, because that was very unfair of her - but now she has to rescue her new friends Hannah and Lars' ball from the tree on the property. And she's afraid of heights. Bravely, she makes it to the top, but suddenly the ladder slips beneath her feet, and Lena is trapped in the tree - no one hears her cries for help. Then she remembers her walkie-talkie, which keeps her in touch with Basti day and night. At the last minute, Basti arrives and saves Lena. He's a good firefighter after all. Back at the fire department, Lena helps Basti with the new exercise. Together with the entire youth fire brigade team, they tackle the task - because they've learned one thing: Together, you're stronger than alone.
