(French national anthem)

(Romantic accordion music)

(Metal clanging,
brakes squeaking)

Hey, boss, do you really want to go up there?
That's insane.

Yeah, that's what my instincts are telling me.

Well then, let's go, boss. Hurry up!

Go, go! Step on their roof!

Yeah!

(French accent) I'd like to have
a nice warm bath now.

With lots of foam
and the scent of violets.

That's how it should be
for a "von Karajan".

(Evil laugh)

(He groans, the window creaks)

(Anxious moaning)

Hello, sir.
- (Karajan screams)

Pleased to meet you, Morrison,

owner of the magical zoo shop.

Mhm.

Did I hear that right?
Your name is Karajan?

Von Karajan, s'il vous plaît.

I am a noble cat,

with a family tree
longer than the Champs-Élysées. Meow.

Oh là là!
I can’t speak more French than that.

Nice to meet you, Monsieur von Karajan.

Let’s go then.

I know someone
who will be a good match for you.

(Hissing and screeching)

(Long scream)

(Dull impact)
- Everything okay, boss?

Any bruises bruised?
- All good!

But the cat is a tough nut.

He apparently doesn’t want to go to the villa.

Did I just hear villa?

(Upbeat music)

Ugh!

Mon dieu, what an ugly bus.

Don’t worry. The kid
you’re going to lives in pure luxury.

Meow. I want that.

Oh, what a snob this cat is.

Pfft!

(Low growl)
- Huh?

Oh, right, I almost forgot.

There’s still a magical creature aboard.
Let me introduce you.

This is Rick.

(Dark music and low growl)

(Hissing and whining)

(Pop music)

# Wow!

# This is the School of Magical Animals.

# Here, we laugh, croak, and bark.

# Real friends come on all fours.

# The wildest school in the world.

# They’re there for you when you need them.

# If you believe in them.

# This is the School of Magical Animals.

# Here, we laugh, croak, and bark.

# Real friends come on all fours.

# The wildest school in the world.

(Song cuts off)

Let’s rehearse
“Stop, this is our forest” again.

Give 150%.
You know how important this theme is to me.

Think of all the animals
losing their homes:

Deer, rabbits, foxes...

Penguins!
- (Laughter)

Since when do penguins live in forests?

I think he meant that symbolically.

Exactly. Totally symbio...logical.
The lizard gets me.

I’m a chameleon!

The camel gets me.

(Laughter)

So, in three days, it’s forest day.

And we’re gonna rock it
with our show and Ida’s awesome song.

And now, go! Formation!

(Muffled voices)

Hi, everyone! Thanks for clicking
on the Stylene channel.

Today from the rehearsal for the Forest Day.
Saturday at the town square.

If you like it, leave a like.
- From the chorus!

# One, two, three, four!

(Pop music)
- # Stop, this is our forest!

# Who makes our air to breathe
if the trees are no longer here?

# Stop, this is our forest!

# Man, it doesn't help any of us
if the world is made of stone and glass.

# No matter what you try,
no matter how you curse and beg.

# No meadow grows on asphalt
and no apples grow on houses.

# Stop, this is our forest!

# And we’re ready to do everything
to make sure it stays.

(Cheering)

Great, choreography is on point.
- That was so good.

This is going to be awesome on forest day.

I just hope everyone shows up this time.

Silas wanted to be at the rehearsals.
Something must have come up.

(Powerful music)

Hey man, where were you?
- Hey, dude, what’s up?

What’s up? You’re annoying me.

You were supposed to be at the rehearsal at three.
- It’s ten to three.

Dude, it’s winter time.

Oops.
- Oops?

No, no oops. This is crap.
Ida didn’t like it either.

Oh, did little Ida not like it?

Are you getting enough oxygen
up there on cloud nine? Ida, Ida, Ida!

That has nothing to do with it.

Man, you need to chill out.

Let’s fight again, like we used to.
- Hey, dude, stop it.

Wow.

Wow. Hey.

(laughs) Yeah.

You still got it.
- I can still take you any time.

I can take you any time?
- Come here.

Oh!

There.

Okay, okay.
You’re the champ. I give up.

(Soft music)

Sorry I wasn’t
at the rehearsal. - Okay.

But I’ll be there for forest day.
- Okay. Promise?

(Phone tone)
- We still need to work on your tech skills.

Yeah, yeah, we’ll do that.

Hi, guys! Thanks for clicking on the Stylene channel.

Today from the rehearsals to forest day.
Saturday at the town square...

You follow Helene?
- Stylene, of course.

She’s funny, cool,
confident, has style...

Are you getting enough oxygen?

Dude...

Hey, bro, forget Helene.

If you’re not wearing designer clothes,
she won’t even look at you.

(Phone tone)

Cool. A livestream from Maja Malakara is coming soon.

Maybe about her collection.
- Should we watch it at your place?

Uh, no. Not right now.

I’ve got a video call
with my social media manager.

I told you about that, right?

No, then just see you later.

See you later!

Look...

(she sighs)

(Mother) Help me out here!
- (Father) I’m taking the shelf apart.

For hours!
- It needs to be done carefully.

We have to do it ourselves!
In the past, we had people for this.

You won’t lose any status over it.
It’s not that hard.

(Mother screams)
- (Father) God!

Well, great. What can you actually do?

It’s not my fault we have to move out.
- Of course not.

The evil crisis is to blame.
- Don’t say it so snarkily.

(Mother) Hey, sweetheart.
So, how was ballet?

I haven’t done that in a while.

That’s nice.
- How sad.

I was at the rehearsal for forest day.

Ah.
- What forest day?

Forget it. It’s not like I’ve told you five times already.

You could start packing too.

No. I’d rather make sure we stay here.

(Downbeat music)

(Ringtone)

Helene, hi!
- Hello, Ben.

What do you think of my new video?

Ah, sorry, darling, that was lame.

Dance rehearsals for forest day? How do you
expect to get more followers with that?

And you need followers,
if you want lucrative sponsors.

But I need sponsors.
That’s super important.

Then give me something. But something cool!

Okay, I... I could...

Sorry, I’ve got a call coming in. Bye!

(Signal tone)

(Noisy voices)

Hi.
- Mrs. Malakara.

You’ve chosen an unusual location
for your fashion show. Why?

Oh yeah, I did. Look.

Fashion shows in Berlin,
Paris, Milan, we’re used to that.

I wanted something different,
extraordinary.

Something unique.

So we found this Tyrannosaurus Rex

in a super cute town
like from a fairytale book.

That’s actually near us.

(Social media manager)
Then give me something. But something cool!

(Lively music)

(Bicycle brake squeals)

(Music fades out)

(He sighs)

(Magical ringing)

(Silas) "The magical
pet shop announces:

Soon you’ll get
your magical animal!"

I hope I’ll be back soon.
- Good luck, Mrs. Director.

Thanks. I’ll find
a suitable crew.

(Helene) Mrs. Arikan,
do you have a second?

Helene, what’s up?
- I absolutely need to go to this fashion show.

Maja Malakara is my idol.

I have no influence
on the guest list.

It’s all handled by her PR department.

I’d do anything: serve drinks,
organize chairs, decorate, anything.

An event company handles that.

I’m sorry, but I have to go.
I’m totally stressed.

Maja Malakara wants a local show act.

I have no idea
where I can find that.

You’ve just found it.
- Hm?

Me and my crew.
We dance, we sing.

You’ll get an amazing show.

Right! Your class did that
Adelheid musical performance.

Exactly.
And this time it’ll be even better.

That would be amazing.

But only if your principal
Mr. Siegmann doesn’t mind.

Mr. Siegmann
surely won’t mind.

He does everything for you.
- What do you mean by that?

Well, everyone knows he has a weakness for you.

I don’t believe it.

I could drop by his place tomorrow.
- Definitely.

A thousand thanks, Helene.

You’ve saved my day.

(whispering) They mean it too.

(magical sound)

"The Magical Pet Store announces:

Soon you will receive your magical animal!"

My magical animal!

(Keyboard sound)

Did you talk to Silas?
- Yes, Silas is fine.

He apologized.

His watch was wrong.
But he’ll be there on Saturday.

From now on, he
won’t mess up anymore, promised.

(Slurping and swallowing)

Have you written a new song?
- But it’s not finished yet.

Will you play it for me?

I still need a line.
- So what?

I can improvise.

# Fish, I love you.
You never leave me in the dish.

# Fish, I love you.
Nothing else on the table.

Thanks, that’s enough.

(calm keyboard melody)

# We’re flying on a globe,
across the galaxy.

# Our family tree stretches back
to the Big Bang.

# Is everything planned or just by chance?

# I can hardly believe it.

# The stars we see,
are light-years away.

# They exploded long ago
in the past.

# So they can shine for us tonight.

# Can you trust your eyes?

# Like the sun gilding the river.

# A sea of cotton candy clouds.

# In a universe,
that might be infinite.

# But all of that would be nothing

# without you.

(Music stops)

Bravo! Totally a hit.

Beautiful, Redhead.

Yeah, exactly, that’s what I was going to say.

Thanks, so for the help with the lyrics.

Sure.

I’m really looking forward to the forest day.

Hope everything goes well.
- Of course, everything will be fine.

(Juri and Rabbat laugh)

Girls, I’m getting my magical animal,
and we’re going to the fashion show!

Crazy.
- And we’re performing, of course...

"Karamell".

(squealing)
- That totally fits Maja Malakara.

One, two, three!

# Sunglasses on,
our future is bright.

# Life tastes sweet.
- (singing along) # Sweet as sugar, caramel.

Good morning! Heard the news?
I’m getting my magical animal.

Heard it? Me too.

We’re getting our magical animals
at the same time?

If that’s not a sign.
- A sign for what?

That we should go eat ice cream together.

I’ll treat you. Come on, say yes.

Silas, finally get it.

You’re cute and all,
but look at us, me, you.

My style, your style.
It just doesn’t match.

I have a Maja Malakara shirt too.

Best brand.

You? A Maja Malakara shirt?
Dream on.

And if I have one, will you then
go eat ice cream with me? - Of course.

He’s using the 7-iron!
- I can’t believe it.

Someone like that should be
kicked out of the golf club.

The DAX went up.
- Sure, that affects my ETFs.

Guys, I’ve got a top investment for you.

You?

What kind of investment is that?

Simple.
Each of you gives me 30 euros.

And then?
- You’ve invested in me.

And what do we get from that?

A future.

I’ve also invested in recent years,

in martial arts.

Morning!
- Morning!

Morning.

What was that just now?
- What’s up, man?

Did you rip off the guys?
- What? Me?

They gave you money.
- So what? I need it, they don’t.

Do you get it at all?

I’ve done a lot of stupid stuff too.

All that stealing and stuff,
it only causes trouble.

Man, you’re solid.

You can calm down, it’s just borrowed.

(School bell)

Am I interrupting?

Hey, you two.
- (Pinkie) Hey, hey!

(in unison) Never, never shall we
talk to others about the magical animal.

The magical pet shop
is strictly secret.

It shall remain so forever and ever.

Man, kids, I’m so excited.

Me too. Today I’ve got
two very special animals with me.

Special special animals, yes indeed!
Pinkie can vouch for it.

(all laugh)

(magical sound)

(grand music)

(music stops, magical sound)

(confused murmuring)

Maybe another chameleon.

Relatives? Where?

(deep growl)

(threatening music)

(dull hissing)

(panicked screams)

(Growling, stomping music)

Hey, how cool.
- Yeah, totally, right?

I’m Silas.
I think you belong to me.

Hi! I’m Rick.

Hi, buddy!
- (Rick burps)

(scattered laughter)

Oh, uh, sorry.

I didn’t expect you.

Sorry. I’m Rabbat.

Mhm.

These are Henrietta,

Caspar and Juri.

Hello!

Juri has almost as big a mouth as you.
Normally.

(Laughter)

Nice to meet you.

You don’t have to be afraid of me,
unless you’re vegetables.

I’m vegan, you see. Mhm.

Really?

(A boy) A crocodile.

Oh!

Oh, a cuddly animal!

So cute.
- (Rick, laughing) Oh, that feels good!

I think that’s enough.

After all, we’ve got
two special special animals.

Great animal.
- Super cuddly animal.

(Silas quietly) Dude.

Hm?

Hah.
- Come on.

Well then...

Let’s go on!

(magical sound)

(triumphant music)

(music fades out)

Oh, a cat. How cute!

Tomcat, if I may.

(snide) Hm.
- That’s Karajan.

From Karajan.

Okay, so I’m Helene.

'elene?
- Helene. With H.

I’m telling you: 'elene. With 'a.

He comes from France, Paris.

Ah.

You two go great together.

You’ll love her villa.
- Ah. You’re the one with the villa?

(hesitantly) Yes, exactly, the one with the villa.

Wonderful.
Then we can become a team.

(snapping) Don’t touch!

I don’t like that.
It’s real fur, after all.

Okay, then not.

Wondraschek,
one step more to the right, please.

(muttering) To the right.

No, no, no. The other right.

(muttering) To the right.
- Hmm...

Or is it left?

Exactly like that. Wonderful.

It’s unique.

Well... I’m not sure, I...

Wondraschek, Wondraschek.

This shows that you
don’t know anything about art.

This painting has meaning.
It has depth.

It has, above all, kohlrabi.

I think it’s kind of crude.
- Crude?

Because you don’t understand it, Wondraschek.

(knock on the door)

Come in!

Oh. Mrs. Arikan.

What an honor.
- Director Siegmann, as gallant as ever.

Please, come in.
- Am I disturbing?

Of course not. We were just
looking at this painting.

Understandable,
that you want to take it down. Terrible!

What? Uh...
Yes, exactly, take it down.

Come on, take
the terrible thing down already.

But I just...
- Wondraschek!

Unbelievable, what some people
call art. Such crude stuff.

Crude, I say.
- But you said...

Now stop arguing.
Take the picture down.

He likes it. An art philistine.
- Well...

Please.
- Thank you.

Oh, it's wonderful
that you finally found your way here.

What can I do for you?

Her student Helene May

wants to perform with her class
at our museum on Saturday,

for the Maja-Malakara fashion show.

Of course. I support the creativity
of the students, uh, *everyone, wherever I can.

Nice. However, there will already
be rehearsals at the museum tomorrow.

That’s fine,

as long as the class is accompanied by
an official faculty member.

I could ask Miss Cornfield.

Well, I think,
for such an important event,

it should be someone from the top
school leadership.

Uh, you wouldn’t happen to have time, would you?

Me?

Well, I could maybe
clear some time for you, uh, make room.

And I’d be happy to make time for you.

Say,
since we’re finally alone here,

I wanted to ask you if...

(Wondraschek screams)

Wondraschek!
- Oh.

Well, then,
see you next time!

(Students) Bye!
- (Pinkie) Bye-bye!

Allez, allez! Au revoir-ski!

There’s another surprise,

not just our new magical animals,
Rick and Karajan.

From Karajan.

Helene has arranged something fantastic for us.

As you probably know,
Maja Malakara is coming to our town.

With her new collection.

Now guess who gets to perform.

(everyone) Us!

Hey, how cool.
- Hey, man.

Awesome!

Me on the runway!
That’s what I was born for.

(Juri hums)

Wow.
- (laughs) Shit.

As far as I know,
the show is on Saturday.

Yeah, it’s close.
But I already have a song:

“Caramel”, everyone knows the lyrics.

We’ll make it.
- That’s not what I mean.

Saturday is forest day.
- You can’t have it all.

The performance is not getting canceled.
This has been planned for weeks.

The forest is more important
than some fashion thing.

I can’t believe this.
This is a huge opportunity.

The world is going to watch us.
We’ll become famous.

We can do the forest event later.
- No, forest day is once a year.

Over 500 communities participate.
- 500 communities should be enough, right?

No, people need to understand
that this can’t go on.

Besides, Ida wrote a song,
basically the anthem for forest day.

Alright, then those who are interested
will go to forest day,

and those who want to be part of a cool show
will go to the museum.

I’ll definitely go with Helene.
- Are you crazy?

Chill.

Well, sharing is not an option.
This is a school project.

And we,
we are a community.

Only everyone will perform together.
We’ll do it like we did with the Adelheid musical:

We’ll vote.

Okay. So, votes for forest day?

Stop, stop! That’s not fair.
This isn’t right.

Because you already know her choreography,
and mine, you don’t.

There’s something to that, Helene.
- Mhm.

Then we'll do it like this:

You show us your choreography tomorrow,
then we’ll vote.

Mhm.

(Cornfield) Good.

Excusez-moi,
I would like to go to my villa now.

I urgently need a bath.

Really? You come from Paris?

Oui. And not just anywhere in Paris.

From Neuilly-sur-Seine,
the most prestigious district.

That’s where I lived
in a super-rich mansion.

Oh, really?

Bien! That seems to indeed
be quite acceptable.

What are they doing there?
- Um, they’re picking up our TV.

We’re getting a new one.
- Again? Didn’t you just get one?

Yeah, I’ll send you a message
when the choreography is finished.

Oh, we thought...
- ...we’ll do it together.

No, I still have to
show Karajan everything,

and he urgently needs his bath.

(Karajan) Meow.

I don’t understand.

(Karajan, dismissively) Pff!

Hm?

Mon dieu!

(Karajan) What’s going on here?

I was about to say that.
We’re renovating.

(Dismissively) Ha! Pff!

(Mother) Darling, is that you?
- Yes.

Transform!
- But my bath...

Come on!
- (annoyed) Oh.

Hey. I managed to sell the TV
really well.

And someone’s coming later for the couch.
- Great.

I’ll be in my room.
- What’s that?

It’s a stuffed cat.

Yeah, I can see that. Aren’t you too old
to be playing with something like that?

I know,
you’re going through a tough time.

It’s fine. It’s for school.

Oh, is this for me?

Yeah, a swamp. So you can feel
like you’re in the Everglades.

You know where I’m from?

I used to be interested
in prehistoric creatures.

I had tons of books on dinosaurs,
reptiles, and, and so on.

Look.

And now
you’re not interested anymore?

No.
- (disappointed) Hm.

Well, I am,
but it doesn’t really fit me anymore.

It’s more for kids.

Or nerds.
- Hm.

Now I’m doing really cool stuff.
Like this.

(Burps)

Sorry, I sometimes burp
when I get scared.

(Burps)

Oops, again. Hm.

You're a great crocodile.
- Can you teach me?

Being cool, huh?
- Of course, dude.

Yeah, dude.

Huh?

(Squeezing)

(Bird chirping, woodpecker tapping,
harmonious music)

Cute, right?
- It really turned out nice.

The green is so beautiful.

I know, the green just suits me.
Though red isn’t bad either.

Or blue.
- I think she means the forest.

Hupsi, pupsi.

So, the bath is almost ready.

(Mysterious music)

Mom?

Have you seen my cat?

The stuffed cat?
- Mhm.

I stuffed it in the washing machine.
It smelled so bad.

(Dramatic music,
Karajan groans panicked)

My God.
- (Karajan curses)

This is inacceptable.
Simply inacceptable.

I’m sorry.
My mom meant well.

That’s not what I mean.

Your nose needs to grow
as long as a baguette,

because you’re lying to me.

This is inacceptable.

(Hairdryer stops)
- Brrrr.

What do you mean?

Your money is gone,
and you have to move out of the villa.

Oh, that’s nonsense.

Oh, s'il te plaît.
Look into my cat eyes.

(Magical music)

Okay, you’re right.

Hm!

My father lost all our money,
because of some crisis.

Crisis? I’m having a crisis.

In Paris I lived
in a huge mansion.

And now I’m here,
and your family is poor.

Alright. Relax for a moment.

We don’t need to move.
I have a plan.

I’m going to start
as an influencer. Voilà.

I’m doing a backstage stream
from the Maja-Malakara fashion show.

Then I’ll get tons of followers
and sponsors. Then everything will be fine.

And then we can stay in the villa?
- Mhm.

And for that, you need to
win this vote.

Smart little one.

Mhm.

(Bird chirping, cuckoo calls)

This is really a little paradise.

Great, Ida, that you
signed us up for the forest day.

This is so important. Imagine,
all of this gets torn down.

Like at my Aunt Ursel’s place.
They chopped down a whole forest there.

To build a shopping center.
Nobody needs that.

And that’s why we’re participating in the forest day.

This boy and you,

you’ve known each other
for quite a long time, haven’t you?

Since I was little.

He’s my best friend.

Oh, nice.
Do you want us to be best friends too?

(laughs softly) Sure.

Lately, it’s been so... with Jo...

Hm?
- He’s changed.

He’s become so moralistic
since he’s been hanging out with Ida.

We used to get into
much more trouble together.

Is that what friends do?
- Yeah, of course.

(Sounds of footsteps)

Come on, transform.

Wow! This is a really cool place.

(Karajan) Meow.
- Helene?

Your dad let me in.

We were supposed to
have ice cream together. Hm?

Yeah, sure, I’d love to.

A-a-a!
(laughs softly)

First, you have to show me
your Maja Malakara shirt.

Mhm.

It’s in the wash right now.
- Then go get it.

Okay, but I need to see
if I can find it quickly.

Hurry up.

The ice is melting.

(dramatic music)

(Music overpowers the dialogue)

(Music fades out)

This can’t be true.

What’s wrong?
- Wait a second.

Hey.

Did you buy that with the money
from the guys?

What?
- I know how much that costs.

Let’s talk later. Helene is with me.
This is my chance.

What’s going on?

Silas is sometimes a real idiot.

Do you want to talk about it?
I won’t tell anyone.

Does it have something to do with that shirt?

He extorted some money from
a few guys for it.

What?

(Rick and Karajan laugh)

(Rick) That was a good one.

This cat is really funny, huh.
- Such a nice crocodile.

That took a while.

I quickly ironed it a bit.

Seems pretty new.

I kept it on because of the return policy.

You never know.

Well then, you’ve earned your ice cream.

Listen,

I think it’s really sweet
that you want to vote for me.

Of course.

Maja Malakara
doesn’t come every day and...

I’m always on your side.
- Exactly, she doesn’t come every day.

And that’s why I think it’s so important
for our town, for the school.

And maybe you can still
convince Anthony and Schoki?

Please,
how’s he supposed to do that, huh?

Well, they’re his friends,
and he has influence over them.

Non, non, non.
I saw it clearly:

The leader of the group
is the guy with the penguin.

Oh, really?
- Well, it’s not exactly like that.

I mean, if I want it,
the guys will vote for you.

Je crois pas. I don’t think so.
- You’ll see.

(Squeaky door)

So, we’ve already got the first three votes.

Let’s keep going.

(Hip-hop music)

# The sky is no limit for us.

(Music drowns out dialogue)
- # I make tracks on the moon.

# The earth flies through space.

# But I’m the pilot.

# The sky is no limit for us,

# Anything can happen,
if you believe.

(Music fades out)

Hello, you two.
- Shh!

(whispers) Hello,
my cat couldn’t believe

how great show talents you are.

I can’t imagine that.
- Shh!

(whispers) I can’t imagine that.
- Yes, yes.

They’ve got great potential.
- Don’t bother.

We’re voting for Ida.

Save your
suggestive-manipulative rhetoric.

Hm.
- Tss!

Mon dieu!
What do they think they’re doing?

As if we needed their votes.
We’ll win anyway.

(Growling)

(Peaceful music)

Hi, Ida!
- Hey.

We thought you should know something.
- And what’s that?

Helene and her cat are trying
to manipulate the others.

So they’ll vote for them.
- What?

Yeah. They came to us too.

But they chose the wrong ones.

Wow, she’s going to have a hard time.

Oh yeah?
We have money for champagne, or what?

Hm... It’s our last bottle.

It would be a shame
to let it go to waste.

Here, take some ravioli.

Not hungry.

We’re almost done with everything anyway.

I still need to go to the principal
about the deregistration. - Yeah.

Deregistration?
- From school.

Why do you want to deregister me?
Just because we’re moving to a smaller place?

Didn’t you tell her?
- You were supposed to tell her.

What did you say?

We’re moving to another city,
my darling.

What?
- You need to understand.

We’re making a laughingstock of ourselves here.

We’re moving somewhere
where no one knows us.

Exactly, we’re starting fresh.

Somewhere far away from here.

I don’t want to leave here.
What about my friends?

Oh, Lenchen,
you’ll find friends everywhere.

You’re popular, funny.
- (Mother) Yes.

You’ll make new friends in no time.

I’m not leaving here!

(Sobbing)

(Dramatic music)

(Helene sobbing)

How can they do this to me!

They planned this
without telling me about it.

Incredible.

I don’t want to leave here.
- (quietly) What?

Somewhere
where no one knows us.

I’ll be all alone there.

What will happen to us?
- Mon dieu.

I’ll hardly be allowed to keep you
if I don’t belong there anymore.

Even if I’m allowed to take you with me,
it’ll just be you and me.

No other magical animals,
no Winterstein School.

Oh no.

Hm.

You’re probably going back to Paris anyway, right?

You know,
I didn’t quite tell the truth.

When Mortimer picked me up,

I didn’t actually live
in the huge mansion anymore.

What?
- But yes.

I had never let myself be touched.

And then I was replaced
by a cute little cat.

And I ended up on the street.

Really?
- Mhm.

So we’re both broke now, huh?

Two street cats.

Cat, if I may.

Mhm.

It won’t come to that.

If this works with the stream
of the Maja Malakara Show,

Then Ben can get me sponsors,
and everything will be fine again.

But if Ida wins the vote tomorrow,
what then?

(sighs)

Then it’s all lost.

(Phone rings)

Huh?

(Ringing stops)
- Ida? What are you sneaking around here for?

Uh...
- This is outrageous!

Did you eavesdrop on us?
- No!

But if I can help somehow...

So you did.
Not a word to anyone.

Maybe we’ll find a way.
- Nobody must know.

How do I look then?

Listen...
- Seriously. My parents are freaking out.

Swear to me,
you won’t tell anyone.

Not even Jo.

(Strong music)

Before we vote,
whether we follow Ida’s proposal for the forest day

or Helene’s proposal
to perform at the Maja Malakara show,

let’s first take a look at
your new choreography.

No need.

I’m withdrawing my proposal.
- What?

What?

(Student) Why?

Helene is right.

Maja Malakara
is an international star.

The world is watching us.
We can’t miss this.

What’s this?
- Are you out of your mind?

And our forest day?
- Exactly.

(Murmurs)
- Let them be.

If she signed us up,
she can also take us off.

She just got convinced
by good arguments.

Ida, are you sure about this?

(Quietly) Hm.
- Is that a yes?

Yes.

(Cornfield) Then we’ll perform on Saturday

at the Maja Malakara show
at the Natural History Museum.

Great.
We’ll rehearse in half an hour.

(School bell)

Come on, this will be great.
- Now she’s just leaving?

(Student) What’s going on now?

(Quiet music)

(Rabbat) Don't worry so much.

We’re helping Helene.
That’s the most important thing.

It’s the right decision.
- It is...

But the forest is also important.

It would be easy to just choose
between right and wrong.

Sometimes you have to choose
between right and right.

Ida.

Can you at least tell me
what’s going on?

Are you a Maja Malakara fan now, or what?

No, I...

(sighs)

I did tell you about the thing with Silas.

I know.

But I really can’t tell you.

I promised.

I’m sorry.

(Muffled voices)

I just don’t understand Ida at all.

Just canceling the forest day like that.
She can’t do that.

Alright, everyone,
please follow me in an orderly fashion.

Miss Cornfield will follow.
Something came up for her.

Please.

(Beeping)

Alright, stay together, everyone.

You can only get in and out
with a keycard.

Do we get cards too?
- No, they’re limited.

These are universal keys.

And if we need to use the bathroom?

(sighs) That’s true.

Well, I still have one,
but take good care of it.

And I’ll get it back tomorrow morning.
- Alright. Thanks.

(Beeping)

(Grand music)

Impressive, right?
This is a... uh...

Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Silas! Man, you’ve grown so much.
I didn’t even recognize you at first.

Silas used to be here almost every day.
He was crazy about dinosaurs.

Kids and their things, right?
- You could name every bone.

This bone
was especially fascinating to Silas.

It still puzzles scientists today.

No one knows where it belongs. Hm?
- That was a long time ago.

(Helene) Let’s continue!
- (Arikan) Yes, this is your stage.

Silas?

Can you come with me, please?

But we’re rehearsing now.

Ms. Arikan, it won’t take long.
- Alright.

(He sighs in annoyance)

The animal stays here.

It’s really great here.
- No, the forest day would’ve been great.

We’ll do it later.
- But it’s only once a year.

Then we’ll have our own forest day,
with our song.

(Child) But where? And when?

We need some kind of event,
a reason.

At the city festival or something.

We’ll find something cool. It’ll be great.

Exactly. We’re going to show you
the choreography for "Karamell."

Anthony, playback?
- (Anthony) Alright.

(Electronic pop music)

# I'm hanging with my girls
on the party island.

# Our yacht is parked on the coast,

# where we're sitting on the veranda.

# Macadamia nuts in the marble bowl.

# Everyone knows it's us.

# High heels, cat eyes, tiger print.

# We're hungry, so tell the kitchen,

# the pasta
should have black truffle.

# Gold leaf flakes in the salad,
because we're stars today.

# So much confidence,
guys have nightmares.

# Huge villa,
fire jellyfish in a glass column.

# We want more of that,
always more of that.

# Sunglasses on,
our future is bright.

# Life tastes sweet,
sweet as caramel.

# Who needs confetti?
We throw around money.

# Give me more of that,
always more of that.

# Sunglasses on,
our future is bright.

# Book us a suite in a five-star hotel.

# Who needs confetti?
We throw around money.

# Give me more of that,
always more of that.

Me?
- (Cornfield) Yes, you.

You took money from two students.
- I knew they would snitch.

They didn’t.
- Someone from the class?

It doesn’t matter.
This is blackmail and coercion.

That’s not okay.

I needed the money
for something urgent.

It doesn’t matter
what you needed it for.

You’ll return it
and apologize to the boys.

And it has to be today, after rehearsal.
- But...

Doesn’t next week work?
- No.

Silas, you got
your magical animal.

That’s an honor.

You can lose it too.

Then it goes back
to the magical pet shop.

Do you want to lose Rick?

Okay, I’ll return it.

Deal.

# Life tastes sweet,
sweet as caramel.

# Who needs confetti?
We throw around money.

# Give me more of that, always more of that.

# Sunglasses on,
our future is bright.

# Book us a suite in a five-star hotel.

Oh, uh, Ms. Arikan?
- Yes?

For tomorrow, we need to be well-fed.
- Mhm.

And that requires a good meal.
You eat, right?

Of course, I eat regularly.
- Then we have something in common.

Maybe we could do that together?

Are you inviting me to dinner?

No, I would never do that.

Pity.

I would have said yes.

Then I would have wanted that. I cook.

I’m an excellent cook.

Very well. Then see you later.

I’ll be at your place at eight.

Unlike him, I’m a vegetarian.

Wonderful, just like me.
I’m also a vegetarian.

(Song continues playing in the background)

(Proud laughter)

Oh my God!
- (They laugh)

Wow. Is this what I think it is?

Girls, this is the collection
by Maja Malakara!

Wow.
- How exciting.

Hey, stop.

Phones away. No photos!

(Phone sounds)

(Helene laughs softly)

(Girls giggling)

(Pompous music)

(Beeping)

(She sighs)

Did you snitch on me to Miss Cornfield?

What?
- Because of you, I might lose Rick.

Hey, I didn’t.

Really not.

Did you tell anyone else?

Ida.

Yeah, but she...
- Come on, Rick, time to go.

(Softly) Hey.
- Hey.

Did you betray Silas to Miss Cornfield?

What?

No! How could you think that?

I didn’t tell her.
- You think I’d do that?

No one else knew.
- What’s wrong with you, huh?

What’s wrong with you?

(Downbeat music)

And what about the dividend?

Tch!

(Bird chirping, calm music)

Huh?
- (Woodpecker tapping)

What a shitty day.
Everyone is disappointed in me.

I’m not.

And Jo thinks I’m a snitch.

Oh, redhead...

(Boxing bag punches)

I thought Jo was my friend.

Mhm.

Tell everyone!
- Mhm.

And Ida can’t keep her mouth shut either.
- Mhm.

What about you? Why haven’t you said a word
since rehearsal?

(Unintelligible murmuring)

(Rick laughs proudly)

Is... Is this...
- Yep.

I thought I’d do something crazy.
Because friends do that.

And I heard you were excited about the bone.

Ta-da! Here it is.

Have you lost your mind?
- (Burp)

You can’t steal it.
- But I thought you’d be happy.

Hm.
- Oh man, shit.

Siegmann and Miss Cornfield know that
I’m interested in the bone.

(Rick swallows loudly)

If it’s gone tomorrow,
I’m the prime suspect.

Oh, I didn’t think about that.

Hm.
- Then they’ll take you away from me.

What?

I didn’t tell you,
but Miss Cornfield said,

if I mess up again, then...

you’ll go back
to the magical pet shop.

Oh no!

(both)
# Sunglasses on,
our future is bright.

# Book us a suite at the five-star hotel.

# Who needs confetti?
We throw around money.

# Give me more of that, always more of that.

# Ah!

So, let’s tell Ben the news.

(Computer sound)

But you stay out of the picture, okay?
- Oui, madame.

(Calling sound)

Hey, darling! What’s up?

You wanted something really cool.
- Okay, let’s hear it.

Maja Malakara! I’m doing
a live stream of the fashion show.

And backstage, where no one
else has access. How’s that?

Forget it. Maja’s doing
her own stream backstage.

What? But that’s not possible.
I need the stream for the sponsors.

Well, you’re too late.

Can’t you do something?

Sorry, a call is coming in. Bye!
- Don’t hang up! Please!

This can’t be real!

Merde.

(She sighs)

(Gentle keyboard melody)

# I can’t handle it,
are you coming with?

# Because I can’t make it without you.

# Lost my luck on the way.

# Maybe you know where it is.

# My eyes, like frosted glass.

# Wherever I go, the light turns black.

# I have these images in my head.

# Where’s the button that stops this?

# I can’t scream,
like underwater.

# Totally broken,
what was still intact.

# When it’s once right, as it is,

# why doesn’t it stay?

# I can’t handle it, are you coming with?

# Because I can’t make it without you.

# Lost my luck on the way.

# Maybe you know where it is.

# I can’t handle it, are you coming with?

# Because I can’t make it without you.

# And if hope crosses your path,

# tell her I miss her.

(Sniff)

Come on. Stop moping.

Let’s figure out
how to save your performance.

We’ll find a solution, okay?

I’ve been thinking again.

Well, what’s next?

What if we return the bone
to the museum tonight?

What if I post the collection
on the internet tonight?

Tonight?
- Mhm.

Wait a minute,
you want to leak the collection?

Yeah, exactly.

How are you going to get in?

Helene has the keycard.

With this.

Helene definitely won’t give us the card.

Respect!

That would be the bomb.

If you manage that,
I’ll get you every sponsor.

Aha.

And the museum director’s card?
- How are we going to get that?

Well, I happen to know
where she’s dining tonight.

Deal.

(Birdsong, tense music)

You were right.
That’s Mrs. Arikan’s car.

Mhm.
- Her and Siegmann!

(Rick laughs)
- Come on.

(Gurgling creaking)
- Shh!

Sorry, my stomach.
I need something to eat.

And it smells so good here, like vegetables.

(Arikan and Siegmann laughing)

Oh, uh, Mrs. Arikan?
- Yes?

Last names are so formal.
Please just call me Hermann.

Aren’t you called Heribert?

Yes, yes, of course. Heribert.

Then you’ll have to call me Dolores.
- Nothing I’d love more, Dolores.

Where’s your jacket?

Come on.

(Engine roaring)

(ominous music)

There! In the bag, there’s the card.

Hm?

How are we going to...?

(Silas) Rick!
- (Rick) Ouch!

(dramatic music, machine noise)

(Construction manager) That one.

The ones back there.
Everyone over there too.

And over there as well.
We’ll pour concrete over all of it.

What are you doing here?
- Who are you?

Doesn’t matter. What are you doing?
- We’re creating lasting values.

We’re building a super-class luxury hotel.
There: "Waldfrieden deluxe."

A sanctuary of relaxation,
a masterpiece.

It’s going to be fantastic.
- No, this is our forest!

Our forest?

Yeah.
- (He laughs)

It’s going.
Next week we’re flattening it all.

What?

A fox. It’ll have to
find a new place to stay.

(Growling)

It seems he understood me.
Well then, I need to go.

Don’t trip around here.

(shouts) Stefan!
- Here.

(Beeping and clicking)

(The door squeaks)
- (Karajan) Hm.

(tension music)

Where did they put the suitcases?

Ah!

Bingo.

(dramatic music)

(out of breath) Okay,
everyone has to come. Right now!

(Arikan) It’s admirable.

The feminist message
of the Adelheid musical is so contemporary.

Yes, extremely contemporary. Thanks.
- (Rick holds his breath)

(Arikan) That you, as a man,
initiated this is strong.

(Siegmann) Yes, of course, so...

(loud crashing)

(Rick groans softly)

Pardon.

Hm?

(He sighs contentedly)

(loud heartbeat)

(Rick swallows)

I thought I heard something.

Yeah, that happens
when you live alone too long.

(She laughs, Rick’s stomach growls)

Well, someone’s hungry.

(loud laughter)

(Rick sighs in relief)

(whispers) Alright, now go, get out.
- Mhm.

Hm?

(sniffing) Mm!

Oh no, Rick! Rick, don’t!

(Slurping and smacking)

(pleased sigh)

We did it.

Félicitations. Congratulations!

Hi, you cuties! It's time.

Here is the new collection
by Maja Malakara.

You’re the first
to see it,

world exclusive on my channel.

(Electropop)
- # No one’s perfect, but I am.

# What’s really inside me,
you can’t see.

# I hide tears behind my eyeliner.

# Only good vibes here on my channel.

# And you’re right,
the eyelashes aren’t real.

# But they fit perfectly
with my smile.

# I cover up the doubts
with some attitude.

# Until they say,
no one’s perfect, but you.

# You.

# No one’s perfect, but you.

# No one’s perfect, but you.

# Because you’re so c-c-cool.

# No one’s perfect, but you.

# Because you’re so c-c-cool.

(Song cuts off)

(distant dog barking)

Another sip of wine?
- No, thank you.

I still have to drive.

Then I’ll get the food.
You’ll be amazed.

A-a!

You! You’ll be amazed.

Very good.

Heribert? Is everything okay?

Sure, Dolores. Everything’s great.

Huh?

Ah.

(The door squeaks)

(tension music)

I can’t believe it. The whole
vegetarian platter is gone!

What were you thinking?

Well, I thought:

"Mm, tasty!"

I’m sorry.
- (sighs) Yeah.

(threatening music)

(Boy) What’s that?

(Girl) They really want
to flatten everything here.
- Crazy.

(murmuring voices)

They’re tearing down our forest?
- And our Adelheid Club.

We need to do something about it.
- Definitely.

Okay, is everyone here? Where's Helene?
- She’s not picking up.

She always picks up the phone.

And Silas only gets the voicemail.
- So how do we get rid of the diggers?

Set them on fire, slash the tires...
- (Girl) No!

(murmuring voices)
- Come on, guys.

Hey, seriously now.
- So what can we do?

(tension music)

This should work.

(Silas sighs in relief)

(echoing rumble)
- Someone's coming! Hide!

(Rick burps)

Okay, now I just have
to upload everything.

Helene?
- (they scream in shock)

(Rick burps and screams)

(Helene screams)

(Skeleton rattling, Rick screaming)

(Skeleton creaks)

(dull growling)

(Rick screams)

(dramatic music)

Move out of the way!

(Arikan) Uh...

Oh, uh, that’s... sweet.

And so clear.

Yeah. Honestly, there’s been a small mishap.

No problem, Heribert.
I love spinach hearts.

Really?

(Karajan coughs)

(Rick coughs)
- (Karajan moans)

Oh no.

(softly) Oh man.

Silas? What are you doing here?

Are you stalking me?
- What? No! I...

I’m just returning something so I can...

Oh god. What have we done?

What do we do now?

Sorry.
It’s all my fault.

C’est correct.

Why are you and your friends
sneaking around here at night?

We could ask you the same.

Pff!

Yeah, exactly.
What are you even doing here?

We... just wanted to check the stage again.

So that nothing goes wrong
at the fashion show.

It’s certainly not happening now.

Then it won’t happen.

Yeah, but it was always so important to you.

Yeah, sure, but it’s not going to happen anymore.

You said so yourself.
I mean, the others will be happy anyway.

Then they can go to the forest day.

I don’t want to be uncomfortable,
but we need to leave here.

Yeah, let’s get out of here quickly.

(Karajan) Hopp.

(Helene) Disgusting.

What do I do now?
You can't just...

(excited voices)

You could stop the construction
via a citizen’s vote.

According to Paragraph 117, Section 54a of the BGB,
we’d need 3% of all opposing votes for that.

Keep it short!

We need 10,000 signatures.

Where are we going to get those?
The diggers are already here.

We’re going to the forest day
and collect signatures in the marketplace.

We’ll never get 10,000 there.
- I know what we’ll do.

We’ll perform “This Is Our Forest” at the fashion show tomorrow.

Millions of people will see us.
- Yeah!

That’s how we’ll get enough signatures.

And I’ll create a website
where people can sign.

That’s my Benni!

Live during the event.
- Yeah, that’s really good.

(Toilet flushing)

(Arikan) Hm?

Hm?

The key card for the museum
is no longer in my jacket.

Did you put it somewhere else?
- No, I must have lost it.

Then we’ll call the police.
- No need.

I can deactivate the cards via the app.

What all can you do, Dolores?
- (Arikan laughs)

Quick, quick.

Quick and quick.
- (Phone beeps)

Quick.

(Error tone)

(Error tones)

(Error tones)

Oh, damn it!

(Karajan moans)

(soft beeping)

(Hissing)
- Ouch! Are you crazy? What’s this?

Attention! The windows are secured.

Oh. Thanks, Karajan.

Avec plaisir.

The key card doesn’t work anymore,
and all the windows are alarm-secured.

Oh.
- Is that it?

“Oh”?

You do realize what that means, right?

We’re stuck here.

(Phone beeps,
murmuring voices in the background)

What?

Uh, guys?

Guys!
- (Conversations stop)

Helene is locked in the museum.
- What?

What’s she doing in the museum?
- No idea. Silas is also there.

(Boy) Silas?
- No idea.

We need to contact Mrs. Arikan.

That... that’s not possible.

Why?
- Why?

Because something else happened.

Um, Rick,

he’s going over there,
to the others.

Mhm.

I wrote Finja and Katinka.

And how are they supposed to help us?
- At least I’m doing something.

I am too. I’m putting
the skeleton back together.

What?

That’s going to take forever.

If you’d help me,
it would go faster.

(soft voices)

And?
- Nothing.

(Ida sighs)

Quickly!
- Go!

Listen up.
We found the alarm room.

Come with us!

(regular beeping)

Bad news:

The window is also alarm-secured.

There’s a ventilation shaft.

(dull rumbling)

(echoing) No person could fit through there.
- A person couldn’t.

Huh? What does she mean by that?

(Scraping, strained groaning)

(Groaning and screaming)

Man, I want to get out of here already.

Now I know what it must feel like to be a tiger,
trapped in a zoo.

Or a lion. Or a cheetah.

Or a panther, a jaguar, or a lynx...

Yeah, right!

(Groaning and moaning)

Great, Caspar. Now get down.

(unclear) What did you say?

Get the thing down, man!

(Caspar groans with effort)

Now press the red button.

(Caspar) Oh, missed!

Do it again!

(Laughing, phone sound)
- Oh, it beeped.

Hm? The alarm in the museum was deactivated.

There’s probably nothing.
- That’s very suspicious.

Yeah. - First the card, now the alarm.
We should check.

Absolutely. We can’t just sit here
doing nothing and eating cookies.

(Silas) The middle foot bone goes there.
- (Rick) Mhm.

And the dorsal vertebra
goes down there, okay?

You’re really such a dino freak.

I know, you think that’s totally...

Cool.

Cool?

Yeah. Cool.
I wouldn’t have thought that about you.

I see.

You don’t think much of me, do you?

You only came to me with the ice cream
because you wanted the guys’ voices.

(she sighs)

But I still like you.

I don’t think you’re that bad either.
- Even without the Maja-Malakara shirt?

That didn’t suit you anyway.

(Ida) Oh God, what did you do?
- What happened here?

How did you get in here?
- With Turbo-Turtle and Super-Tongue.

What happened to my great-grandfather?

I’d like to know that too.
What are you doing here at night?

Silas is not to blame.

I stole a bone,
and he wanted to bring it back.

What? Is that true?

Yeah. Miss Cornfield’s got it in for me.

Because someone told her
that I’m ripping off students.

That was us.

Good morning!
- Good morning!

Morning.

We didn’t want you to get away with it.

I’m sorry that I...
- It’s okay.

But we can forget about the performance.

You didn’t want to go to Maja Malakara anyway.

Yes.

Very urgently.

They want to cut down the forest
and build a luxury resort.

What? - That’s why we wanted to sing
“Stop, that’s our forest!”

And collect signatures.
- To stop the construction.

But we’ll never get the dinosaur
rebuilt by tomorrow.

The poor forest.
- Oopsie-daisy.

Of course, we’ll get it rebuilt by tomorrow.
If everyone pitches in?

Silas knows about dinosaurs.
- He was a dino nerd as a kid.

Stop always saying “dino.”
This is a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

From the Theropoda group,

which existed until the Cretaceous-Paleogene
mass extinction.

(all laugh)

Do you know how to assemble it?

Sure. I’ve got help
from a descendant of the archosaurs.

Mhm. Yo, dude.
- And I’m still here too.

I’m almost as old as a dinosaur myself.

What are we waiting for?
- Let’s go!

(Silas) You take the tail
and lift the clavicle!

Hop, hop, hop, hop!

Put it down here,
and you can place this here.

(Pop music)
- (everyone) # Bro, it’s only together.

# Five fingers make a hand.

# I know: Crew love is true love.

# Come, let’s spray it on every wall.

# We only come in a package.

# We’re not complete when one is missing.

# Every highlight that shapes me,

# I’ve experienced with you.

# And when everything falls apart here,

# we’re the crew
that still sticks together.

(all) # We’ll build a throne from shards,

# until we’re almost touching the sky.

# It’s always going higher.

# We don’t do things halfway.

# And when the rain is pouring outside,

# it sounds like they’re clapping.

# Together, it’s going to be huge.

# Let’s grow until we reach the sky.

# Yeah, yeah.

(Ringtone sounds)

# Yeah, yeah.

# Yeah, yeah.

# No ego, sorry.

# No, that’s not our style.

# Rather last place with you...

If I post this,
we won’t perform tomorrow.

And the forest is lost.

# Then we’ll still be the same,
just maybe with gray hair...

Mhm.

(all) # We’ll build a throne from shards,

# until we’re almost touching the sky.

# It’s always going higher.

# We don’t do things halfway.

# And when the rain is pouring outside,

# it sounds like they’re clapping.

# Together, it’s going to be huge.

# Let’s grow until we reach the sky.

# Yeah, yeah.

(Tense music)

Awesome! Our performance is saved.

Well done, dude.

You, listen, I...

Forget it.

(Happy laughter)

Um, Ida, I’m sorry
for suspecting you.

(sighs) Come on...

Without you, we wouldn’t have gotten
the dinosaur...

I mean, the Tyrannosaurus Rex,
back together.

Um, guys,
we have a small problem.

Crap! We used the wrong bone
and I didn’t notice.

Mr. Siegmann and Mrs. Arikan are here!

What? Everyone out! Quickly!

But the bone!
- (Jo) Forget it, come on!

(Dramatic music)

(Clicking and door creaking)

(Siegmann) Everything seems normal.

Hm? I could swear
it was standing a little differently.

Did it make a little detour last night?

(Energetic music)

(Emotional music)

(Benni) Jo! Ida!

(Muffled techno music)

# Red is my favorite number
in the entire alphabet.

# Even though no one understands it,
everyone says that it doesn’t work.

# Red is my favorite number
in the entire alphabet.

(Cheering and applause in the background)

(Whistling and applause)

And do you have something to tell me this time?

Why?
- Because the bone is missing.

Do you have anything to do with it?

Me?
- Silas, be honest.

We had an agreement.

Please, please. I don’t want to go back
to the magical pet shop.

Silas is my only friend.

It depends on you.
What happened to the bone?

It’s a complicated story.
- But Silas is really cool.

(suppressed laughter)

And Rick is not that bad either.

They can’t separate them.

Owners of magical animals
take responsibility

and stand by the things
they’ve done.

Then they’ve earned
their magical pet.

Hmm.

Mhm.

(murmuring voices)

Hey, guys.

It’s about to start.

Dear ones,
the fashion show is almost over.

After that, it’s your turn.
Good luck and have fun!

Thanks.

The page is online.

Now everyone
can vote to save the forest.

(Schoki) Millions of viewers.
- (Anthony) Cool.

But where’s Helene?
- She’s probably doing her postings.

That was your last chance.
Get a new manager. Bye!

What an idiot!
You did the right thing.

Yeah.

But now it’s time to move.

(Cheers and applause from the hall)

(soft purring)

Mrs. Arikan?
- Silas.

Can I talk to you for a moment?

Sure. What’s up?

I...

I know where the bone is.

I know where it is too.

The question is:
How did it get there?

So, it was like this...

(Music and cheering)

Thank you.
Thank you all for coming.

I love you. I love you all!

Wow! What a woman
and what a show!

And what a great collection,

that she presented here with us
in the museum.

Thank you, darling. It was such a pleasure.

This place, with the dinos, the bones,
it was pure inspiration for me.

This is the place to be!

(Arikan) Maja Malakara!

This woman has power.

Just as much power
as our final show act.

Please give a big round of applause to:

the ensemble of Winterstein School!

(Cheering)

But before we begin,
I have a sensation to announce.

The crazy thing is,

this sensation
was preceded by a catastrophe.

Because tonight, our valuable
Tyrannosaurus collapsed.

(angry murmuring)

And believe it or not,

this class here put our dino
back together in just one night.

But that’s not the sensation yet.

We’ve had a bone in our collection for years,

which has puzzled scientists.

No one could identify it.
Until last night.

Because one of these students
is a paleontological genius.

And this genius spontaneously
put the bone in the right place.

At the larynx!

(surprised murmurs)

And that proves,

what no scientist has discovered before:

Our dino is a female.

May I introduce the genius to you:

Silas Sawatzki!

Where did you know
where the bone belonged?

It just seemed logical to me.
- (Laughter)

And who caused the dinosaur
to collapse?

Yeah, I’d like to know that too.
Who brought it down?

Um...

It was me.
- (surprised murmurs)

What?
- But it wasn’t on purpose.

And what were you doing in the museum
in the middle of the night?

I was at the museum to...

leak Maja Malakara’s collection
on the internet.

(shocked murmurs)
- What?

Well, that’s...
This will have consequences.

(quietly) Heribert!

I’m so sorry.
I’m your biggest fan.

But why did you want to leak it then?

So we wouldn’t have to move out of here.

Because... we can’t afford
the villa anymore.

(tone-deaf)

But why didn’t you tell us anything?

Because it was embarrassing for her.

You knew about it?

Not about the leaking.

But about moving.

That’s why you withdrew
the proposal.

We don’t care if you live in a villa.
- Exactly. We’re your friends.

It doesn’t matter if Helene
wanted to leak the collection or not.

In the end, what matters is
that she didn’t do it.

Yeah, exactly.
We all make mistakes.

But standing in front of so many people
and admitting it...

Respect.

I didn’t do it because
it would’ve ruined this performance.

Exactly. We need
every one of your votes.

For our forest.

So it won’t be cut down
for an unnecessary luxury resort.

Dozens of ancient trees
are supposed to be felled.

Hundreds of animal species
would lose their habitat.

Help us stop the construction.
- For our future.

And that’s why Ida wrote this song.
- So: The stage is yours!

(Applause)

(all) Ah!

(soft keyboard sounds)

# Where there was sky, there is only smoke.

# You’ve already plundered
the whole ground.

# Fox tracks end at a fence.

# What were you thinking?
You sold the whole forest.

# Who can explain it to me,
because I can’t understand it.

# Why is a felled tree
worth more than when it’s alive?

# We stand in your way,
because you’re cutting down our future.

# And everyone shouts together,
as loud as they can.

# One, two, three, four!

# Stop, this is our forest!

# Who will make our air to breathe,
if the trees are gone?

# Stop, this is our forest!

# It does no good to anyone,
if the world is made of stone and glass.

# No matter what you try,
how much you curse and beg,

# no meadow grows on asphalt
and no apples grow on houses.

# Stop, this is our forest!

# And we are ready
to do whatever it takes to make it stay.

# I feel the moss on my skin

# and sink into the soft, colorful leaves.

# Even though I don’t believe in miracles,
it’s so beautiful,

# that it almost takes my breath away.
- # One, two, three, four!

# Stop, this is our forest!

# Who will make our air to breathe,
if the trees are gone?

# Stop, this is our forest!

# Man, it does no good to anyone,
if the world is made of stone and glass.

# No matter what you try,
how much you curse and beg,

# no meadow grows on asphalt
and no apples grow on houses.

# Stop, this is our forest!

# And we are ready,

# to do whatever it takes to make it stay.

(Applause and cheering)

(Cheering)

(Arikan) Encore! Encore!

I’d like an encore too,
like a second dinner.

Next time I’ll cook better.
- I don’t think so.

Next time I’ll cook.

(Arikan) What an amazing performance
and what an important message.

Now I’m curious,
how many votes we have.

Incredible!
It’s already over a million votes!

The resort won’t be built.

(harmonic music)

(they cheer)

Excuse me.

Excuse me!
- (Applause fades)

Helene, my dear,

we’re sorry.

We had no idea
what all of this means to you,

your friends.

We were too caught up
in our own stuff.

Yeah. But what we
actually want to say...

We’ve decided
that we can also live for a while

in a smaller apartment.

We’re staying here.

(Applause)

(Men) Watch out!

(Site manager) Hey, what’s this?

Stay here!

(angry groans)

You damn little toads!

(dynamic pop music)

# Sunglasses on,
our future will be bright.

# Do you have time today?
Come, let’s save the world.

# Before the planet falls to ashes.

# Our future
comes like flowers through concrete.

# Sunglasses on,
our future will be bright.

# Don’t wait for miracles.
We’ll make them ourselves.

# Before the planet falls to ashes.

# Our future
comes like flowers through concrete.

# Sunglasses on,
our future will be bright.

# Do you have time today?
Come, let’s save the world.

# Before the planet falls to ashes.

# Our future
comes like flowers through concrete.

(Song fades out)

(dynamic pop music)

# This is the school of magical animals.

# Here, we laugh,
and croak, and bark.

# Real friends come on all fours.

# The wildest
school in the world.

Hammer, darling!

After your performance,
your follower count has multiplied by hundreds!

And Maja Malakara even linked your page
to hers!

I have so many marketing ideas.
- I thought I was out.

What?

No! Helene,
that was just said casually.

Oh, I see, mmh.

Listen,
we can take this slowly...

Sorry, another call is coming in. Bye!

No! Wait, you can't...

Uh...

(Ringing)

# Welcome,
ladies and gentlemen.

# Step right in,
please come closer.

# Take a look around.
Here, you can experience something.

# Magical animals that talk.

# Here the pig whistles,
here the bear dances.

# The donkey tells you a tall tale.

# In this school,
it’s not about grades.

# It’s about us,
forbidden to adults.

# Ene, mene, blind man’s bluff.

# Panther, Mamba, Cockatoo.

# Anything can be possible here.

# Don’t be a frog, come by.

# They are here for you,
when you need them.

# If you believe in them.
- One, two, three!

# This is the school of magical animals.

# Here, we laugh,
and croak, and bark.

# Real friends come on all fours.

# The wildest school in the world.

(Song fades out)

# We fly on a globe
across space.

# Our family tree
reaches back to the Big Bang.

# Was it all planned or just coincidence?

# I can hardly believe it.

# The stars that we see,
are light years away.

# Long since exploded
in the past.

# So that they shine for us tonight.

# Can you trust your eyes?

# How the sun gilds the river.

# A sea of cotton candy clouds.

# One hundred thousand flowers
turn towards the light.

# Love the stories of old trees.

# There are fish that can glow.

# In a universe,
that might be infinite.

# But it would all be nothing without you.

# My whole world is upside down.

# Because I met you
despite the vast distance.

# Exactly at this point in the universe.

# I can hardly believe it,

# that I get to spend the same time,
this blink of an eye,

# right now and here
with you.

# Look how the moon
paints the sky silver.

# Can you trust your eyes?

# How the sun gilds the river.

# A sea of cotton candy clouds.

# One hundred thousand flowers
turn towards the light.

# Love the stories of old trees.

# There are fish that can glow.

# In a universe,
that might be infinite.

# But it would all be nothing without you.

# But it would all be nothing without you.
