Victor and the Secret of Crocodile Mansion
Plot Summary
The Laroches have just moved into a spooky old mansio when their parents (THOMAS OHRNER and KATJA WEITZENBÖCK) go on vacation, leaving eleven-year-old Victor (KRISTO FERKIC) alone at home with his big sisters Cora (JOANNA FERKIC) and Louise (VIJESSNA FERKIC). Exploring the rooms of the old house, Victor finds a little stuffed crocodile with empty eye sockets among the dusty packing boxes and ancient African masks. All he hears in the dimly lit room is the ticking of an old grandfather clock. Suddenly, standing wide-eyed before a big mirror, Victor freezes in fright: A dark silhouette darts through the house behind him. A burglar? A ghost? Victor starts looking for the intruder in panic. In the Forbidden Room, he finds the diary of Cecilia, a girl that died in the house many years ago under mysterious circumstances. Victor pages through the book in fascination, following Cecilias mysterious clues through the mansion. Creepy neighbor Mrs. Debisch (GUDRUN RITTER) and her son Friedrich (CHRISTOPH MARIA HERBST) keep getting in his way as he explores. Shifty neighbor Strichninsky (WALDEMAR KOBUS) is acting suspiciously, as well. Are they involved in Cecilia's death somehow? Victor starts to suspect he's on to a major mystery...
