Synopsis Lapislazuli :Watch online Movie Trailer free Lapislazuli German Hollywood film.The film Directed by Wolfgang Murnberger

A blazing meteorite crashes into a glacier in the midst of an alpine wilderness, bringing back to life a frozen Neanderthal boy. The boy, whose name is Bataa (Clarence John Ryan) meets Sophie (Julia Krombach), a girl who has run away from a holiday chalet in the mountains. At first their communication is hampered by the divisions of language and time, but before long, they discover that they have something in common - for Sophie, she has lost her mother and cannot get along with her new patchwork family, and Bataa feels very lonely and longs for his own family. Both in need of each other, a special friendship soon evolves that is jeopardised when they are discovered by scientists determined to track down and capture Bataa. The two children hide in an ancient, secret cave that was once a holy site for Neanderthals. When Bataa falls ill, Sophie persuades him to go down into the valley. But the closer they get to modern civilisation, the more his condition deteriorates.

Lapislazuli German Film Review :

The hero of the movie Sophie is a teenage girl. A girl whose mother has died, father is in love with another woman who is divorced and has a daughter of her own. And, of course, Sophie is devoted to memory of her late mother, so she refuses to accept her future stepmother whatever she does. When her father asks her to go with them to vacancies instead of going to grandmother Sophie obeys without enthusiasm and, after a short while of making holidays unpleasant for everybody, she runs away one night planning to spend the rest of holiday at her grandmother.

But suddenly the movie turns into a kind of SF, with a American-like premise: let's make one impossible thing real, and see what will happen with the world that is otherwise normal as the one we live in. Hollywood likes it in big production for adults - "Gremlins" had the strange creature, "Eternal Sunshine..." the machine that deletes certain memories, "Big" a machine that fulfills wishes and changes the age of a boy. In Middle Europe this is a very usual plot trigger in kid's movies - "De bal", "Tajna starog tavana", "Anna – annA", "Fakiren fra Bilbao", "Hilfe, ich bin ein Junge", "Dreamgate" etc.

"Lapizlazuli" uses a premise that a meteorite could melt the frozen prehistoric boy who suddenly starts roaming Tirolian Alps. However, unlike other movies which use such an unrealistic event as a catalyst for an adventure, "Lapislazuli" keeps the rather darker tone of family drama from the first part; it even amplifies it later, and there is not a happy ending that Hollywood made us used to. This boy doesn't belong to our world the way E.T. doesn't, or Alf, or other similar heroes; but as this is not a classic American SF that has fantastic exit from the problems, sometimes even deus-ex-machina type, the destiny of prehistoric boy will be shown realistically. It seems that European kids can handle serious subjects and lack of happy-end better than American (or just American producers think it won't make money, as they do with movies for their parents as well). Maybe it is the European tradition – at least half of the stories written by the greatest writer for kids, Hans Christian Andersen, don't have happy end. (But when American directors use his stories, they change the end to satisfy their audience).



So it seems that I got the answer - this unusual, but well made movie is made for European kids, a bit older than I first thought, because they have to understand some characters' motives that are not like ones they meet in everyday life. Very good to be watched together by members of different generations though. The plot is logical once you believe its rather ridiculous (and not well presented) premise. There is no way that the camera can fail when you make a movie in Tirol, but it was obvious that the director was more interested in characters.The hero of the movie Sophie is a teenage girl. A girl whose mother has died, father is in love with another woman who is divorced and has a daughter of her own. And, of course, Sophie is devoted to memory of her late mother, so she refuses to accept her future stepmother whatever she does. When her father asks her to go with them to vacancies instead of going to grandmother Sophie obeys without enthusiasm and, after a short while of making holidays unpleasant for everybody, she runs away one night planning to spend the rest of holiday at her grandmother.
