First, I admit to shedding so many tears on this movie since I don't know when. The story of the two unknown sisters who reengineer their parents' marriage is deeply touching, very well executed... and a nice fairy tale ("Kindermärchen", as the last word of the soundtrack says).
In practice, divorce isn't children's play. (I've been there myself, divorced with two daughters.) The magic moment where they reunite after 7 years isn't made so plausible either.
Anyway, I enjoyed the show - a big sweet dream (with partly impressive cinematography) which includes a very bad dream sequence. In the German version, author Erich Kästner's voice-over is sometimes too much of good, but it certainly adds a stamp of authenticity. Lovely, if you're in that particular mood - I was tonight :^)
