Regina Welker & Nina Wels about LATTE AND THE MAGIC WATERSTONE
“Eating worms and bugs is part of a hedgehog’s life”
Now the animals are suffering from a water shortage, young reckless hedgehog girl Latte clumsily spills the last drops of water. When all the animals gather in an emergency meeting, the raven tells them about Bantur, the Bear King, who stole the magic waterstone. Latte has no other option than believing the story and courageously embarks on a quest. On her journey through the forest, she is joined by her best friend Tjum. But being friends with a stubborn girl like Latte is not always easy. We meet both directors of the ambitious looking animated feature right after the film’s world premiere at the Schlingel Festival.
