What was shaping up to be the worst holiday of Karli’s life takes an unexpected turn: far from civilisation, with no internet access, and forced to help renovate an old hotel building. Everything changes when he accidentally takes the lift to a floor that shouldn’t exist… straight into the year 1938. There, he meets Hanna and Georg, and together they try to solve the unusual mystery of a thief prowling the hotel. Along the way, Karli also uncovers more about the dark history of the Nazi era.

The Secret Floor is an adventure film about friendship in the shadow of mortal danger, as well as a clever story that turns learning about history into an exciting activity. Despite tackling one of the darkest periods in human history, director Norbert Lechner has managed to craft a story of friendship told in a tone that promises an adventure for the whole family.
