Die Zeit der Kraniche

The story unfolds in the Lower Havel lowlands, one of the last bird paradises in Germany. Twelve-year-old Lea lives with her father Lutz, a passionate environmentalist, in an increasingly desolate environment. As schools close and people leave, Lea grapples with the emotional challenges of growing up in solitude. Her father's withdrawal from society adds to her sense of isolation, as she longs for connection and companionship.

With a strong cast featuring Stella Kunkat, Bernhard Schir, and Floriane Daniel, the film presents a poignant narrative about the difficulties of adolescence amidst a fading world. The combination of family dynamics and environmental themes may resonate with viewers interested in human stories set against the backdrop of nature's beauty and decline.
