Mondmann
Fritz Böhm
The Man in the Moon (Michal Tregor) is lonely and bored. He dreams all the time of being on Earth and among people. One night, with the help of a comet that just happens to be flying by, he manages to travel to Earth. Fritz Böhm’s film, which is based on the Mondmann book by Tomi Ungerer, uses wonderful sumptuous pictures to tell the story of the Man in the Moon’s journey to Earth, a journey that doesn’t quite proceed as he had imagined it.
