== Content == thumb|Pepperminta (film still) Protagonist Pepperminta (Ewelina Guzik) at the beginning of the film is a 10-year-old girl who lives alone in a rainbow colored villa and holds strawberries as pets. Her educational substitute for a parent is an "apple-sized talking eye which she calls Grandma". It gives her "pithy advice" such as: Always do what you're too scared to do! Later, when she is grown up, her greatest wish is for everyone to see the world in their favorite colors, and she is gifted with unique powers to help people achieving it. Together with her hypochondriac friend Werwen (Sven Pippig), her pansexual sister Edna NeinNeinNein Tulip (Sabine Timoteo), and the elderly Leopoldine (Elisabeth Orth), she sets out to free people from their grey and colorless life. In the course of the film, they roam the Swiss cities of Vienna and Zürich, a restaurant is turned upside down, students are literally painted with bright colors and police officers attacked with fruit.
