THE ADVENTURES OF PAPER PETER - dir. ARI KRISTINSSON

Synopsis: The difference between Paper Peter and other children is of course that Paper Peter is made of paper. This can be inconvenient at times, but there are advantages to it as well. For instance, Paper Peter can take of into the wild blue yonder hanging on to a balloon, he can travel by mail and he can fly like a kite. This makes Paper Peter very popular with the kids on the block and an invaluable companion in all their pranks. And when the kids get into trouble with a bad-tempered neighbour, Paper Peter becomes their secret weapon.....
