Die Fahrt nach Bamsdorf

Short Summary (English)

The children Toni and Rita are delirious with joy: The ten-year-old and his little sister are allowed to go by train to Bamsdorf to visit their grandparents.

However, his mother’s worst fears come true: Toni gets off at the wrong train station while little Rita remains seated and is forced to continue the trip on her own.
