The Mucklas ... and how they arrive at Pettson & Findus

a film by Ali Samadi Ahadi, co-directed by Markus Dietrich


Germany/Luxembourg, 2021

Synopsis

The Mucklas, a small group of kobold like creatures from the books and films Pettson and Findus, live unnoticed and unseen in the nostalgic and chaotic general store of the old shopkeeper Mister Hansson. After the sudden death of Mister Hansson, the cosmic disorder in which the Mucklas exist, is shattered. Three heroes, Svunja, Tjorben and his little brother Smartö, have to leave in order to find a new home where they Mucklas can live in chaos once more. The journey is packed with dangers of the outside world. The further away they wander from home, the neater and the tidier everything becomes. However our heroes do not give up in the hopes of finding the promised land for their fellow Mucklas.
