Arno and the Birthday Party Inc.

Arno’s 7th birthday is a blast – a day full of surprises, dangers and adventure! The way Nikolaus Heidelbach ironically and mischievously plays with illusion, dreams and reality is fantastic. Nothing is impossible.

Arno’s parents go all out to make their son’s birthday unforgettable and hire the Birthday Party Inc. Arno excitedly inspects the truck with 12 trailers together with his friend, Betty Bellbuckle, and they discover one spectacular surprise after the next – dancers who play blind man’s bluff with them, the picture show called “That was My Life”, a greedy wallet that jumps through burning hoops, sea cows playing basketball, a two-headed woman that tells them their fortunes and a monsterous bubble-gum monster. Can it be real? Hard to tell, but the boy with the promising name Arno really liked it – even if he thought everyone who participated was completely insane.

»An enchanting story about a 7-year-old birthday boy, who is the spitting image of Arno Schmidt (German author)« Andreas Platthaus, FAZ
