Tractor Comes Along

“Not without my tractor!” demands the child. The father can say whatever he wants. If they have to move from the country to the city, they’re not going without their strong and faithful friend. In the adaptation of the picture book by Finn-Ole Heinrich and Dita Zipfel, the bright red cardboard tractor chugs steadily in stop motion throughout the film. When we see it climbing up the big-city houses, we get an idea of who will have the last word.
