Christine und die Störche

DDR 1961 Spielfilm

Christine and the Storks



An old ruin serves as the favorite playground for Christine and her friends. It is also the home to a pair of storks that have built their nest there. When the ruin is meant to be demolished, Christine is eager on rescuing the helpless baby storks that are not yet fully fledged. However, neither the fire fighters nor the wrecking company’s crane operator are able to recover the nest from the ruin and thus save the baby storks. Christine, who is unwilling to give up, finally comes up with an idea: She hurries to the near-by airfield and persuades the local commander to send a helicopter towards the ruin. Thus, the storks can be saved just in time.
