A young city girl is sent off by her busy parents to spend some time in the country with her grandmother, and the girl soon discovers strange events at the neighboring farm, including a horse called Mississippi. The horse is likely to be sold unless other arrangements are made, and this is where the girl and her grandmother step in. The film develops into a broad comedy where all is not what it appears. The film also features veteran actress Katharina Thalbach who has appeared in many films including The Tin Drum (Die Blechtrommel) and Sophies Choice. Make sure you stay for the closing credits as the film ends with a witty and cleverly animated sequence.
