Produced by Rai Boys and Graphilm Entertainment in Rome, scripted by the director and Anna Lucia Pisanelli and told so lively and elegant a master animation as Italian Maurizio Forestieri, Hanukkah – The festival of lights is a story of friendship, courage and sharing, full of poetry and insights, aimed at children and their families.

In postwar Rome, between the Jewish community that wants to start living freely after years of racist persecution, a young confectioner named Anna struggle to save the family workshop from the clutches of Antiochus, a petty and ruthless man. At a time when the need is missing, on the eve of Hanukkah, friendship and solidarity will make a difference ...

Through the story of the imagination of young pastry Anna, you discover something one of the most ancient and fascinating festivals celebrated in Italy, the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, the festival of lights. For Anna, the salvation of his shop will go from olive oil, a small miracle that refers to the miracle of the oil candlestick of the Temple of Jerusalem, symbol of the festival of lights. The festivals are important moments in the life of communities, loved by children and others. Through the celebrations you can playfully learn about their roots, uses and customs of peoples near and far, the sense of giving and togetherness.

NDR: This year the second Jewish holiday coincides with Christmas in importance. An additional way to bring the two religions together. To our friends we wish you a good HANUKKAH !
