Anja, Bine und der Totengräber

Shy, nine-year-old Anja is scared to death when she has to jump off the high-dive board. Ever since her older brother died in an accident six years ago, Anja's mother has become overprotective. In trying to safeguard Anja against everything, she unwittingly prevents her from ever truly living - were it not for Anja's best friend, Bine.
