A little bumblebee is tired of her daily routine and the other boring bumblebees. She needs an adventure! She flies to the place of her dreams and meets a frog who is also seeking something new. Despite their differences, the two animals become friends and start their adventure together. This children’s animation film was a hit in East German cinemas. Older viewers, however, saw it as a metaphor for their longing to escape—from their daily life or even their country.

This short film is available for streaming as part of the collection Against the Mainstream: Lutz Dammbeck's Animated Works.
