PAULE AND THE NATIVITY PLAY

Shortfilm | D (2020) | 16min

PAULE AND THE NATIVITY PLAY is based on a story from “Paule is a lucky grasp‘ by Kirsten Boie, published by Friedrich Oetinger.

Christmas is just around the corner and Ms. Rübsam (Jella Haase) would like to perform the traditional nativity play with her school class. The children quickly agree that Paule (Sanusi Bah) should play Kaspar, the coloured one of the three wise men. Paule takes a different view: he wants to play the angel who brings the good news. But Sarah (Anna Wittowsky) already sees herself in this role and says that her mother only gets free from work if she plays an important character. When Paule finds out about it, he secretly makes sure that Sarah’s mother can come.

To make matters worse, there is water damage in the auditorium at school, so the children have to find another location for the performance.
