English Summary:
Ballet Shoes is a 2007 British television film, adapted by Heidi Thomas from Noel Streatfeild's 1936 novel Ballet Shoes.[1] It was produced by Granada Productions (formerly Granada Television) and premiered on BBC One on 26 December 2007. It is directed by Sandra Goldbacher.
A practical young orphan, Sylvia Brown, and her stern nurse Nana come to live at her uncle Gum's house in London, England after her parents die. Gum is a paleontologist and is reluctant to take his niece in, but relents when he learns that he is her only living relative. Gum is away a lot on travels collecting fossils, but he sends Sylvia letters and presents and she learns to love him.
Years later, Sylvia is now grown up and still living with Gum and Nana. Gum brings her back an orphaned baby girl, who has been rescued from RMS Titanic after her parents drown when the ship hit an iceberg. He names her Pauline Fossil. Gum legally adopts Pauline. When Pauline is two years old, Gum adopts another orphan that he found, a Russian baby girl called Petrova. Petrova's biological parents are tragically killed. In 1923, Gum adopts a third baby, Posy, with ballet shoes that her mother owned and necklaces for the three girls. In a letter Gum explains that Posy's father died and her mother doesn't have time to care for her daughter. He also left some money in the bank for Sylvia, enough to last five years. That is the last the family hears of him.
German Summary:
Ballet Shoes ist ein britischer Familienfilm aus dem Jahr 2007, dessen Regie Sandra Goldbacher übernahm. Emilia Fox spielt die Waise Sylvia Brown, die mit ihrer Betreuerin Nana (Victoria Wood) im Haus ihres Onkels (Richard Griffiths) eine neue Heimat findet. Dort zieht sie auch mit Nanas Hilfe Pauline (Emma Watson), Petrova (Yasmin Paige) und Posy (Lucy Boynton) groß, als der Onkel als verschollen gilt.
Als die Eltern der jungen Sylvia Brown sterben, kommt sie zusammen mit ihrer Betreuerin Nana ins Haus ihres Onkels Matthew Brown, eines begeisterten Paläontologen, der ihr einziger lebender Verwandter ist. Brown ist viel auf Reisen, schickt Sylvia aber Briefe und Geschenke, und kommt Weihnachten fast immer in sein Haus zurück, sodass eine Bindung zwischen beiden entsteht. Als einige Jahre vergangen sind bringt er zum Weihnachtsfest eine ganz besondere Überraschung mit, ein kleines Waisenmädchen, das mit seinen Eltern auf der RMS Titanic war. Die Eltern sind ertrunken. Sie bekommt den Namen Pauline Fossil. Im Jahr 1921, die kleine Pauline ist gerade mal zwei Jahre alt, bringt er ein weiteres Kleinkind aus Wladiwostok mit, dessen Mutter bei der Geburt starb und dessen Vater sich zu Tode geschuftet hat. Man nennt sie Petrova Fossil. Zwei Jahre später kommt ein drittes Mädchen hinzu, dessen Mutter, eine Balletttänzerin, weder Zeit noch Geld hat, sich um das Kind zu kümmern. Sie hat ihrer Tochter rosa Ballettschuhe mitgegeben. Das Mädchen bekommt den Namen Posy Fossil.
