Where? At the Seriale — a festival devoted entirely to series, just as befits a pilot, and the place where the "Best Pilot" award is presented as an audience prize. WORLD PREMIERE 15 June 2019 – 7:00 p.m. Die Seriale Official Selection – Best Pilot. Kinocenter Gießen, Bahnhofstraße 34, 35390 Gießen. https://www.die-seriale.de/festival/ "Der kleine Achill" is a series pilot that draws on epic tales and legendary heroes to weave them into a modern story about playground dynamics and bullying. An epic children's adventure for fans of films such as "Legend of the Guardians", "A Monster Calls" or "Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief". Synopsis: Thanks to his rather big mouth, ten-year-old Alex has his bicycle stolen by Georg, the town's notorious bully. That evening, his father meets Alex's boundless rage at this loss with an epic bedtime story: the tale of the battle for Troy and the Greek hero Achilles. When Alex learns of the downfall of the supposedly invincible hero, he resolves the next morning to show understanding rather than anger towards his adversary Georg, and so brings peace back to Troy … er, no, to the playground, of course.
