PREMISE

It’s the summer holidays! This year, Flo (Nico Marischka) is determined not to be apart from Lassie. Rather than joining their parents on a holiday in Gran Canaria, Flo and his devoted companion decide to visit Aunt Cosima’s (Katharina Schüttler) farm in South Tyrol. There, they join her, her Jack Russell terrier Pippa, and her foster children, Kleo (Anna Lucia Gualano) and Henri (Pelle Staacken).

The adventurous pair soon find themselves in the middle of an alarming new mystery – all of the pedigree dogs in the village are disappearing! When Pippa is the next to be stolen, Lassie’s detective skills are put to the ultimate test in a tense race against time to catch the thieves, rescue Pippa, and foil the despicable dognapping scheme once and for all!

Directed by Hanno Olderdissen, Lassie: A New Adventure stars Nico Marischka, Katharina Schüttler, Justus von Dohnányi, Annette Frier, Anna Lucia Gualano and Pelle Staacken.

HANNO OLDERDISSEN AND HENNING FERBER

Director, Hanno Olderdissen and Producer, Henning Ferber said,

“When Lassie Come Home was released in cinemas at the beginning of 2020 it was soon clear: the collie dog had yet again become a celebrated star, with the film being a huge hit in over 150 countries worldwide. The momentum created by the first adventure’s success allowed us to continue on our journey and Lassie has been made even more active in the sequel – of course we also have strong human protagonists, but it was important to us that it was Lassie who led through the story. We want to tell an adventure for children, but also for adults who still know Lassie from their childhood.”
