Als Hänsel und Gretel von ihren feriengeilen Eltern im größten Spielzeugladen New yorks verlassen werden, sind ihre amerikanischen Abenteuer erst am erschreckenden Anfang...


What if Hansel and Gretel were abandoned in a mega-toy store instead? The witch is a gorgeous technology fan; Hansel loves watching TV and Gretel has to figure out how to push the child-eater into a garbage compactor. There still is a happy ending... It's a film about the America of one thousand and one too many possibilities. We wanted to show the other side of temptation, when too much of what is good becomes bad, excess of choice stifles, the things most longed for hide a danger covered with frosting and maraschino cherries. Welcome to the little house of unchecked consumerism.
