When 12-year-old Karli moves to an old hotel in the Alps, he discovers an elevator that harbors a secret – it’s a magical time portal that transports him back to 1938! There, he befriends Hannah, a spirited Jewish girl, and Georg, a shoeshine boy. But when Georg is falsely accused of stealing, the children must solve a mystery case hidden within the hotel’s walls.
THE SECRET FLOOR from director Norbert Lechner („The Wall Between Us“) is a time-travel adventure for children. Filmed in stunning Alpine locations, this German-Austrian-Luxembourgish co-production offers a fresh perspective on teaching children about this crucial historical period, while also keeping it light-hearted.
