About
Diggers bury the last pond, and the forest animals have no water left. So eight very different animals leave home and set off on a long, uncertain trek, learning they only survive if they stick together. Freely based on Colin Dann's book, it is told as a road movie with puppets, live video and music. There is lots of spoken High German, so it suits kids who follow German well.
