Synopsis

Little Uli wants to become a pirate or the pope, but in no case does she want to fit into the role-stereotypes of her Bavarian hometown. After her father’s death, her mother hands over his “secret box” to her as an inheritance. The content suddenly changes her view of the father, herself, her family, and the society in which she grew up. 

A true story about family secrets, gender roles, the turmoils of love and a childhood in the Bavarian province - told as a tragicomical roller coaster ride through animated and documentary imagery.
