Synopsis
Australian premiere
Das geheime Stockwerk
When twelve-year-old Karli moves with his parents to a rundown, old hotel in the Alps, instead of an exciting holiday, he is left without internet access and forced to help his parents with their renovations.
Then one day, Karli discovers an elevator that harbours a secret – it is a magical time portal that can transport him back in time 80 years to 1938! There, he befriends Hannah, a spirited Jewish girl, and the young shoe shiner Georg.
But when Georg is wrongly accused of stealing, the three new friends must work together to solve a mystery hidden within the walls of the hotel, while the shadow of National Socialism begins to grow around them.
Shot in stunning Alpine locations and directed by Norbert Lechner (The Wall Between Us), The Secret Floor is a playful time-travel adventure and sensitive story of friendship that offers a fresh perspective for learning about the history of World War II.
