From 4 years and up, without language

Two eggs in an Antarctic snowstorm. From one hatches a penguin, from the other another bird. Together they experience many adventures. They are each other's: all they have and all they know. The little bird takes the penguin as a mother, and learns from him everything the latter knows. That is not so much! After all, he has no wings to fly and can only waddle ... The deaf actress Pia Katharina Jendreizik and the hearing puppeteer Andreas Pfaffenberger tell this story about differences in friendship and family without a word spoken.
