Das Mädchen mit den Feuerzeugen

1987 · ★ 9.0 · Drama

This modern variation on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Girl with the Matchsticks" begins Christmas in a home for the disabled. The four wheelchair users Aga, Ringo, the White Giant and Spasski are fed up with the same old boredom and decide to celebrate their own "party". They requisition the collected donations and set off to explore Munich at night. There, all doors are initially closed to the wheelchair gang, but then the friends meet an angel in the form of a lighter saleswoman who grants them three wishes. None of the runaways take them seriously until the first wish is actually fulfilled unexpectedly.
