The Story
Daria lives alone with her children Noah and Lucy in a house. Their everyday life is loving, lively – and sometimes pretty chaotic. Things don't always go to plan, and daily routines don't always work out the way they're meant to.
And then, of all things, a small green alien named Wisbel plops down into their garden. It's pretty adorable – but it also causes quite a bit of extra chaos.
Toothpaste? Pyjamas? Toys? A TV? For Wisbel, all these everyday things are completely new – and it causes plenty of mischief along the way. That's really the last thing Daria needs.
Luckily, her friend Matteo and his son Moritz happen to be visiting. And Moritz has a bright idea for how they can teach Wisbel all these unfamiliar things.
Together, the kids show Wisbel how everyday life on Earth works. Lucy's glass marbles play a mysterious role in all of this. And Noah captures everything Wisbel discovers on its journey through family life with his Polaroid camera.
What the marbles are really about, and where Wisbel's journey leads, is something the kids find out in the picture book. And then something special happens: the story doesn't end on the last page.
Because what the kids discover with Wisbel in the book, they can hold in their own hands afterwards: the Polaroid photos become routine cards, the marbles can be collected, and Wisbel's Ufo gets a very special place in everyday family life.
So a story becomes a ritual that kids can keep going themselves, every day.
