Die Gänseprinzessin

SINOPSE

The humorous and cheerful Princess Polly does not have it easy. Her parents' kingdom is in a state of emergency: Since Polly's brother disappeared years ago, there has been mourning. The king cannot bear to laugh, the queen tries, but is increasingly challenged by the situation at court. And of all things, Princess Polly finds it all particularly difficult, because she loves to joke and cheer up other people. It is therefore not so easy for everyone to keep their composure at court. When Polly makes her two maids laugh at the funeral service in memory of the prince, the laughter spreads like an avalanche among the bystanders. The king cannot tolerate this - a fight ensues, Polly leaves. At the same time, the adventurer Leif crosses the national border. He wants to ride through the mourning country as quickly as possible, but then he sees the resistance fighter Hagen, who is being taken away in front of his eyes, and frees him. The two can only escape the king's guards with the help of a magical old woman: "Everyone has to take their burden on their back!" is their maxim and Leif must also start taking responsibility - first by helping. He has to carry the bundle of firewood home for her. In return, she uses her magic to save the two fugitives from the king's guards. Leif, Hagen and the magical old woman arrive at an enchanted clearing in the forest - here she lives, together with many geese and her "daughter". It's Polly, who was also able to find shelter here. The magical old woman with snow-white hair challenges the young people around her and opens up new horizons for them. Will they manage to reshape the country's future together and free it from the burden of grief?
