The Peppercorns and the Treasure of the Deep Sea: Second cinema adventure of the young detectives. This time they have to track down a missing marine explorer.
Film plot and background
Second cinema adventure of the junior detectives. This time they have to track down a missing marine explorer.
12-year-old Alice (Emily Flint) is looking forward to the summer holidays because this year she is going to Northern Ireland to visit her boyfriend Tarun (Caspar Fischer-Ortmann). But instead of a relaxing holiday, a new case awaits her here: Tarun’s mother Jaswinder (Meriam Abbas) is a marine biologist and is attacked at her research station. She is currently working on a solution to rid the oceans of rubbish, but the project is still top secret.
Back in Germany, she has a strange encounter with recycling entrepreneur Robert Fleckmann (Heino Ferch) and finally Jaswinda disappears from her research ship without a trace. As Alice, Tarun and the siblings Johnny (Leander Pütz) and Clarissa (Charlotte Martz) find out, the local fishermen are also not well disposed towards Jaswinda. What has she not told the children? Who is really playing false here?
These films also promise good entertainment for young and old:
