IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Hen's Tooth Video)

Pippi is a mischievous teenager who lives alone in a ramshackle mansion with her pet monkey after being abandoned by her pirate father. She is idolized by the local kids because she can do whatever she pleases without consequences. She has an unlimited supply of money thanks to some gold bullion left by her father, which she uses to buy things like toys and candy for the kids. Eventually she gets the attention of some responsible adults, but luckily her father shows up to save the day. Surreal children's film culled from a Swedish TV series.
