Rocca verändert die Welt
Brave, funny, and one of a kind: that´s Rocca. Rocca is eleven years old and lives a rather unique life. While her dad is watching over her as an astronaut from outer space, Rocca lives alone with her squirrel and is attending a normal school for the first time in her life. At school her carefree and non-conformist way of life instantly stands out. She fearlessly confronts the class bullies, because first and foremost Rocca stands up for justice. That´s why she makes friends with the homeless Caspar and tries to help him. All the while she is also attempting to win over her grandmother´s heart. With never-ending optimism, Rocca proves - together with her new friends - that even a child has the power to change the world. (Festival information, Zlin, 2019)
In this film the spectator is confronted with Rocca, the eleven years daughter of a German astronaut. The story begins at the moment when she, coming from the Gagarin cosmonaut Centre in Kazakhstan, lands in Hamburg to live with her grandmother and to go to school in a residential area in Hamburg. Her care, creativeness and non-conforming way of life brings joy to the people she interacts with and changes them profoundly.
