Music ban in Sharabska: Ernest and Célestine fight for freedom!
In the sequel to the popular animated film "Ernest & Célestine", the warm bear Ernest and his curious friend, the mouse Célestine, go on an exciting journey to Ernest's distant homeland, the fictional country of Sharabska. The reason for their adventurous spirit is an unfortunate incident: Ernest's valuable violin is broken and only the talented violin maker Octavius in Sharabska can repair it. The two friends set off, although Ernest is initially hesitant to visit his old home. However, the situation becomes precarious when they arrive in Sharabska and find that music has been banned here for many years.
Arriving in Sharabska brings with it numerous challenges for Ernest and Célestine. The country's society is highly regulated; only a single note is permitted, and any form of music is punished. Even birds must remain silent to comply with strict laws. As they explore the country, Ernest also discovers that his own father passed the so-called “Ernestof Law,” which made the music ban possible. This knowledge hits his heart like a heavy stone.
The fight for music
Ernest and Célestine, whose passion for music remains unbroken, are determined not to accept this situation. Together with friends and a mysterious, masked avenger, they work to bring music back. Their colorful group represents the resistance against the country's oppressive traditions. The story places a clear focus on themes such as freedom, resistance and the unbroken power of music.
