Greenwich Entertainment has acquired U.S. rights to Caroline Link’s 'When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit,' an adaptation of Judith Kerr's semi-biographical children's book about a Jewish family that escapes the Nazis. Details:
When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit was produced by Germany's Sommerhaus together Warner Bros. Entertainment, Nextfilm Filmproduktion, La Siala Entertainment, Hugofilm Production, and RAI Cinema.
The plot follows 9-year-old Anna who, in 1933 flees Nazi Germany with her Jewish family, leaving her favorite stuffed pink rabbit behind. As she moves as a refugee across Europe, from Zurich to Paris and finally to London, thoughts of her toy dominate her thoughts. "Our heroine feels the effects of tyranny, anti-semitism, displacement and being a refugee and despite these real dangers, somehow manages to keep her innocence and sense of adventure through it all," says Edward Arentz, co-managing director of Greenwich. "Caroline Link has created a new classic film of 20th century childhood in extremis."
When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit has been a sleeper hit in Germany, where it has grossed nearly $6 million. Arentz negotiated the U.S. deal with Dirk Schuerhoff, CEO of Beta Cinema, who are handling worldwide rights.
