Where the mountains cast the longest shadows, where the cabbages are as big as waggon wheels, where the bus from town cannot go any further – that is where you will find Sauerkraut, a village where the world-famous sauerkraut was invented and the pickled cabbage phenomenon began its incomparable triumph, conquering menus all around the world. An almost idyllic village . . .
The story of Hans and Henriette, a pair of birds is a dance of love and life. In beautiful pictures and verses, Helme Heine tells the story of Hans and Henriette. Just like a real life story: love, marriage, nest-building, babies, children growing up, parents growing older . . . Spring, summer, autumn and winter in the course of a year and several lives.
