The Afternoon Nap

Der Mittagsschlaf

The little girl Mucki, who has a particularly loving relationship with Hans, the old farmhand of the house, is unaware that his parents are about to send him to an old people's home. When Mucki is supposed to take a nap, she stands at the window instead and watches Hans climb a tree. With childlike wishful thinking and imagination, she enchants Hans from afar and asks him to fly away. The wishing has fatal consequences, because Hans actually flies away...
