THE MUSIFANTS – I HAVE A LITTLE CACTUS
Grandpa Günter is 200 years old, very heavy and a retired circus elephant. He lives in his old circus wagon and knows a trunk full of famous songs and unknown stories from his youth about 100 years ago. And like his grandson Charlie he loves to sing. Together they make musical excursions to the roaring 20s and 30s.
The two Musifants fly to the moon in a rocket and again meet a chicken in a flying saucer and their neighbour Krause, who is visiting his own planet with his converted trailer. There follow adventures in space with asteroids, comets and of course the little green cactus.
