Synopsis

Christine lives with her parents on the outskirts of the city. She loves to walk her dachshund.

 

One day on their walk, they discover a little lonely and very sad lamb. "My name is Cirry the Cloud Lamb and I live in the sky, but I got lost," the lamb tells them. Christine promises to help the little lamb. She asks her friend Dieter, the dentist, and police officer Paul for help.

 

Finally, the fireman and Cirry walk up the ladder of the firetruck, and Cirry jumps to the other cloud lambs. Although Christine is sad to say goodbye to her new friend, it makes her happy that she could help and that Cirry is back with its friends.

 

An animated puppet film based on the children's book by Fred Rodrian.
