The lonely craftsman Eder sends away his invisible friend Pumuckl so that he can work on his carousel in peace. But the little goblin misunderstands and thinks his friend has ended their friendship.
When a simple repair job for an eccentric opera conductor spirals wildly out of control, the mismatched pair find themselves chasing runaway animals, uncovering rural secrets, and ultimately facing a grand showdown on the stage of the State Opera. Pumuckl rides along invisibly, stirring up trouble at every turn. Eder, the steady hand, tries to keep the peace and fix what‘s broken. But when Pumuckl begins to fear their friendship won‘t survive these changes, both must discover what truly matters: where you belong, and who you belong with.
Outside of the DACH-region, the original series from the 1980s was broadcast in Italy, Portugal, Spain, Hungary, Greece, Denmark, Bulgaria,
Korea and Israel. The production is led by Marcus H. Rosenmüller (“The Keeper”, “New Stories from Pumuckl“), and production company NEUESUPER (“Paradise”), in co-production with Constantin Film (“Perfume: The Story of a Murderer”, “Downfall”) in cooperation with RTL Germany.
