Little Uli wants to become a pirate or the pope, but in no way does she want to fit into the role stereotypes of her Bavarian village. After her father dies, her mother hands her his "secret" box as an inheritance. The contents suddenly change her view of her father, herself, her family and the society in which she grew up. A true story about family secrets, gender roles and a childhood in the Bavarian province - told as a tragic-comic rollercoaster ride through animated and documentary images.
With: Monika Decker, Cordula Decker, Helmut Decker, Uli Decker, Irmtraud Karlitschek, Herbert Karlitschek, Christl Spiegel, Inge Schleußinger and special appearance by Cora Frost.
