Momo
A new adaptation of Michael Ende's classic novel tells the story of a remarkable girl named Momo, who lives as an orphan in the ruins of an old amphitheater on the outskirts of a city. Momo has an extraordinary gift: she can truly listen to people. She takes the time to understand their worries and fears, helping them rediscover inner peace and joy. But the city falls under threat from the Grey Gentlemen – mysterious figures who steal people's time, rush them, and drain their happiness. They introduce a system that claims to "save time," yet this saved time is taken from the people. Recognizing the danger, Momo resolves to reclaim the stolen time for the citizens. She is aided by the wise turtle Cassiopeia, who leads her to Master Hora, the guardian of time. Together, they confront the increasingly powerful Grey Gentlemen, striving to give people back their lives and the joy they have lost.
