When Uli's mother reveals a secret that has been closely guarded over the years after her father's accident, the director sees her father, who has always seemed so aloof, in a new light.
Little Uli wants to be a pirate or pope, but she definitely doesn't want to fit into the role stereotypes of her Bavarian hometown. After her father's death, her mother gave her his "secret" chest as an inheritance. The content suddenly changes her view of her father, herself, her family and the society in which she grew up. A true story about family secrets, gender issues and the tangles of love - told as a roller coaster ride through animated and documentary imagery.
