School classes can register free of charge to attend a screening. The film has been chosen to tie in with this year’s theme, Mit Zuversicht, und du?. Afterwards, there will be a moderated discussion about the film with the director, and the chance (weather permitting) to draw on the Stadtkino Piazza and the Theaterplatz using street chalk. Teaching materials will be provided.
PLITSCH PLATSCH FOREVER!
POLA (11) and her best and only friend POLLY (11) spend every spare moment together at the local Plitsch Platsch swimming pool. Polly’s mums run the bistro there. But the pool is due to close, and Polly is moving to Toronto with her family. To get Polly back, Pola wants to save the pool – but the longer she fights, the more she realises that Polly won’t be coming back. Only when she realises that her strength can help others too does Pola manage to make a courageous fresh start. The film tells a heart-warming story of friendship, letting go and the courage to stand up for a greater cause – with a loving look at Swiss swimming pool culture.
