Wo Gritlis Kinder hingekommen sind

In a sun‑kissed country house along the Rhine, a fragrant garden bursts with roses, butterflies and the gentle hum of songbirds. From her high window, a pale‑skinned girl watches the sparkling river and the leafy linden trees, dreaming of the cool stone bench that dips into the water’s edge. The world outside glitters with colour and scent, yet the child is confined to her room, yearning to feel the grass beneath her feet and the river’s breeze on her face.

Her mother, tending to the girl’s frailty, promises a later stroll, hoping the afternoon will bring the strength the child needs. When the trusted housekeeper Klarissa arrives—her calm presence a steady anchor for everyone in the home—the mother and daughter turn to her for permission. With hope swelling in the girl’s eyes, they wait to hear whether the garden’s invitation can finally become a reality.
