Every day brings new animals and new challenges for Sina (22), Janne (24) and Lou (1). After all, more than 200 animals have to be looked after every day at the adventure farm in Gerhardsbrunn in the Palatinate. Sina has been studying psychology at the university in Saarbrücken since October 2023. She now commutes between the village and the city and has to leave her husband and daughter alone with the many animals every day. But there are also many helpers. In addition to parents and grandparents, there is now also a position for a voluntary ecological year (FÖJ) at the Erlebnishof in Gerhardsbrunn.  Sina and Janne have been animal lovers from an early age. Janne wanted to do something with animals even as a young boy and is now a veterinary assistant. They have opened a cat boarding kennel on the farm and want to expand their animal-assisted therapy services in the future. The young parents' love of animals knows no bounds: Old, sick, mistreated or abandoned pets find a new home at the adventure farm. For the young couple, life with the animals is a full-time job and at the same time their lifelong dream. Animal welfare plays a major role for both of them. It is important to them that their guests learn more about animal welfare, for example during donkey walks or children's birthday parties on the farm. In addition to donations, they use the income from the events to finance the upkeep of the animals.  The couple can no longer imagine living in the city and are delighted that little Lou will also grow up as a genuine village child.  They consider life with all the animals in particular to be a gift for their daughter and hope that there will soon be more small children in the village on the Sickinger Höhe.    A film by Frank Hisam (editor, camera & editing)  00:00 News from the animal rescuers 01:09 What's new? 02:23 A pony in pain 03:20 What is animal welfare? 03:52 At the university 05:44 Vacation from the village 07:41 Donations in kind 08:20 Help from Grandpa Berti 10:38 Family planning
