Synopsis
Karl, little Kathrin, and Spatz spend their winter vacation with their grandmother in a little village. Near the house, they build a funny snowman with a carrot nose, but the nose is gone the next morning. Replacement noses disappear one after another. The children and their grandmother set up a feeding place for the hungry animals, so the snowman can keep his beautiful carrot nose.
This film, which is based on a children's book by Ingeborg Meyer-Rey, combines cut-out and puppet animation techniques.
