The Elfkins: Baking a Difference

The Elfkins: Baking a Difference (2019) is a German animated family film you can watch online on iFILM, drawn from Cologne's old legend of the Heinzelmännchen — gnomes who once helped craftsmen in secret each night.

For two hundred years the little Elfkins have stayed hidden from people, but curious young Helvi refuses to stay underground and slips out into the city. She teams up with Olaf, a hapless pastry chef whose shop is about to go under, partly thanks to his jealous older brother. The tiny gnomes set out to rescue the bakery, and the kitchen turns into sweet chaos. A warm 78-minute story for ages six and up, with cozy animation and the smell of fresh pastry.
