Jewel of the desert

Thomas Borch Nielsen, Denmark, 2001

77 min.DK/FeatureChildren's films

The classic family film for children and modern special effects combine in Thomas Borch Nielsen's colourful tale about Annie and Oskar, a brother and sister who find themselves on an unusual holiday. Their trip to see their ultra-correct uncle, Constable Bent, promises to be no more than a couple of dull days in a boring little town, but surprises await by the score. Two thieves and their cheeky parrot escape from gaol and steal a retired general's camel, a beast that is large, lively, and omnivorous. Annie and Oskar start investigating, as does Uncle Bent and the local detective, Snudekaft. But the riddle they are faced with proves a tough one to crack.
