Based on the acclaimed novel by Cornelia Funke, this light-footed family film sparkles with warmth and lightness, a spunky heroine and a lovingly nostalgic feeling. Hands Off Mississippi tells the story of 10-year old Emma, whose summer vacation at her eccentric grandmother's house turns into a high-stakes race to rescue a strong-willed horse and save a whole town from unscrupulous businessmen. This film is sure to please anyone who ever loved a horse, or longed for a summertime adventure that would change the world. Winner of the German Film Prize 2007 as the best children's and youth film.
