When 12-year-old Karli moves to an old hotel in the Alps, he discovers an elevator that harbors a secret – it’s a magical time portal that transports him back to 1938! There, he befriends Hannah, a lively Jewish girl, and Georg, a shoe shiner. But when Georg is falsely accused of stealing, the children must solve a mystery case hidden within the hotel’s walls, all while the shadow of Nazi Germany begins to grow around them.
THE SECRET FLOOR from director Norbert Lechner („The Wall Between Us“) is a time-travel adventure for children. Filmed in stunning Alpine locations, this German-Austrian-Luxembourgish co-production offers a fresh perspective on teaching children about this crucial historical period, while also keeping it light-hearted.
