EINE VILLA MIT PINIEN

Lion and Bird walk through a pre­stigious Berlin residential area. Rumors say, one of the villas has been uninhabited for years, but there is still light burning in the house. Curiosity drives Lion into the house, Bird follows hesitantly. Lion wants to take a further look, but Bird gets scared and leaves the house. A maid without a mask calls him out of the bush. She tries to convince him to hand the animal mask to her in order to command the overall visible light creatures. Her way out of the villa, she hopes. The master of the house enslaves intruders by letting them dance to his piano music. Once they are completely exhausted, he steals their animal masks, so they cannot escape anymore: They end up as light creatures working for him forever. The maid and Bird find a way to defeat the master of the house. Bird is now a lot more confident towards Lion. But the big change in him has only just begun.
