Lippels Traum
Eleven-year-old Philipp, known as Lippel, travels from Passau in Bavaria to the Orient without a flying carpet: because his father, the posh chef Otto Mattenheim, is on a business trip, the new housekeeper Mrs. Jakob looks after Lippel. But she turns out to be a petty childish terror. And so Lippel escapes into an oriental dream world at night, in which his father, Mrs. Jakob and two classmates strangely appear. Lippel experiences the most amazing adventures in the Orient. His dreams help him and his classmates to chase the evil Mrs. Jakob out of the house and rescue his new friend, the street dog Muck.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Benno Fürmann constructs a gentle narrative that explores the porous border between a child's harsh reality and liberating fantasy. The film relies on oriental dreamscapes not as mere escape, but as a psychological toolkit for the young protagonist to process his world.
What lingers after the credits is the charming conviction that imagination is a legitimate superpower. A comforting tale for young viewers learning to navigate their own challenges. — MovieFinder Editorial
