In the small Bavarian town of Altötting, a mother takes her young son to visit a nearby chapel. The boy becomes entranced by the Shrine of the Virgin Mary inside the chapel, and begins daily pilgrimages to see his beloved Madonna. His love, devotion, and passion for her continues to grow, until one day his world is crushed by the devastating secret behind her eternal beauty.
Andreas Hykade was born in the summer of love in Altötting, the centre of the Holy Mary cult. Since he's been a grown-up, he's created animated films for grown-ups. Now that he's a father, he creates animated films for children as well. He has been the director of the Institute of Animation at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg since 2015.
