She is brave, strong and clever. Ronja the Robber’s Daughter, the heroine of my childhood. I always had the impression that the world belongs to strong, clever and fast women. That’s why, just like her, I felt at home roaming through the forest and on fast skis. There have also been a few jumps over the abyss in my life, not at Matthesburg, but on film sets, in theaters and in human encounters. What I always liked best about Ronja were her dark flashing eyes when she was angry and her fierce determination to go her own way.

We wish you a handful of ‘jumps for joy’ for your new year! And should your foot ever get stuck in the forest floor, may it be well taken care of!
