Wunderland - Vom Kindheitstraum zum Welterfolg

In the 1990s, twin brothers Gerrit and Frederik BRAUN earned their money with the techno disco "Voila" in Hamburg's Conventstrasse. But even then they were pursuing their dream of a miniature version of the world with corresponding figures and trains. After the turn of the millennium, the time had come. The MINIATUR WUNDERLAND / MINIATURE WONDERLAND was opened in the Speicherstadt, and has since developed into one of the biggest public attractions in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg. Even demonstratively disinterested teenage students can be thrilled by this attraction.

In her documentary, director Sabine HOWE tells the story of how this tourist attraction, which has attracted worldwide attention, came about and introduces the creators of this amazing miniature world. Of course, this would not have been possible without the passionate model makers who have worked for the MINIATURE WONDERLAND over the last two decades. But of course, such tinkerers are not only found in Germany. The Argentinian model-making family Martinez also contributed a lot to the success of the attraction in the Speicherstadt with their version of the Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro.

Gerrit and Frederik BRAUN, the main creators, appear in the lovingly designed documentary as small figures who lead the audience through the magical world of Wonderland. There are a lot of things to discover that you wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Well worth seeing!
