Oliver is on holiday this week, so he has a lot of time on his hands to watch
films. I'm proud of him. Today he decided to watch the second Checker Tobi
film. The second and last, I hasten to add, because Tobias Krell died of
cancer in 2023, less than six months after completing the film.
The film's title means "Checker Tobi and the journey to the flying rivers".
That certainly sounds enigmatic. It follows the pattern of
the previous film. It's just as far fetched, but who cares?
Tobi receives a parcel from a woman who was his neighbour as a child. It's a
locked wooden box. Should he break it open? That would be cheating. There's
also a photo of Tobi with a girl when they were both six, shortly before her
family moved away. Her name was Marina, and she was wearing a necklace with a
key on it. Could it be possible that she still has the key 30 years later?
Marina is currently living in Vietnam. Yes, after all these years she's still
wearing the key round her neck, and it opens the box. There's a piece of paper
with a task for Tobi. After visiting a cave in Vietnam which is the biggest
cave in the world, they travel to Mongolia, first to the capital and then the
desert. From there they travel to Brazil and the Amazon rain forests. Tobi
witnesses how large areas in the forest are being cut down.
The climate preservation messages are laid on thick, but it's still a good
film.
