Alfons Jitterbit - Countdown to Chaos

Alfons Zitterbacke - Das Chaos Ist Zurück (Germany)

Germany | 92 min | Comedy | 2019 | Feature Film (Live Action) | Germany

What would Alfons Jitterbit do to be a great athlete, a super student, and an astronaut, just like Alexander Gerst. In reality, however, certainly isn't so wondrous for him. The 11-year-old stumbles from one mishap to the next. Everyone seems to gang upon him. Unfair teachers, vicious classmates and a very strict father generally make life miserable for him – when out of the clear blue an aircraft competition offers the opportunity to participate in an astronaut camp and Alfons sees his chance: At last, he can show the world what a brilliant inventor he is!

বাংলা

আলফোন্স জিটারবেক কী করলে আলেক্সান্ডার জার্স্টের মত একজন দূর্দান্ত ক্রীড়াবিদ, অসাধারণ শিক্ষার্থী এবং একজন নভোচারী হতে পারবে? বাস্তবে ওর জন্য অত বিস্ময়কর না। তার ১১ বছরের জীবনে পদে পদে হোঁচট খায়। সবাই যেন তাকে ঝামেলায় ফেলতে চায়। অসৎ শিক্ষক, দুষ্টু সহপাঠী আর কঠোর বাবা তার জীবনকে আরো দূর্বিষহ করে তোলে। যখন আলফোন্স নভোচারী ক্যাম্পের একটা এয়ারক্রাফট প্রতিযোগিতায় অংশ নেওয়ার সুযোগ পায়, তখন সে পৃথিবীকে দেখাতে পারে সে কত মেধাবী একজন উদ্ভাবক! বিশেষত ক্লাসের নতুন মেয়ে ইমিলিয়াকে। যে সবেমাত্র পাশের বাসায় চলে এসেছ।

Der 11-Jährige stolpert von einem Missgeschick zum nächsten. Jeder scheint sich auf ihn einzulassen. Unfaire Lehrer, bösartige Klassenkameraden und a Sehr strenger Vater macht ihm das Leben im Allgemeinen miserabel - wenn aus heiterem Himmel ein Flugzeug kommt Der Wettbewerb bietet die Möglichkeit, an einem Astronautencamp teilzunehmen, und Alfons sieht seine Chance: Zuletzt kann er der Welt zeigen, was für ein brillanter Erfinder er ist! - besonders Emilia, das neue Mädchen in der Klasse. Emilia ist gerade nebenan eingezogen.
