Das Mädchen mit den Feuerzeugen

The film begins on Christmas in a home for the disabled, where four wheelchair users—Aga, Ringo, the White Giant, and Spasski—grow tired of their mundane routine. They decide to throw their own party, using collected donations as a means to venture into Munich at night.

As they explore the city, they encounter various challenges, facing closed doors and societal barriers. However, their adventure takes a magical turn when they meet a lighter saleswoman, who acts as an angel and grants them three wishes. The fulfillment of the first wish surprises the group, prompting them to reconsider the power of their desires.

Das Mädchen mit den Feuerzeugen blends realism with fantasy, making it a distinctive film that showcases the resilience and dreams of its characters. Its unique approach to storytelling and character representation may appeal to collectors focused on lesser-known adaptations and international cinema from the 1980s.
