Lightning action Having lost control of his son, the father gets rid of the child, sending him out of sight, under the wing to the cunning grandfather, who has trained on the educational path, but at the very beginning of the parent’s venture collapses, and a boy who talks to a stranger gets into history, going on a road trip with a doubtful fellow traveler who asceticized in the field of ingenious scams.
Having deceived, the boy goes on the run, recognizing the outstanding fraudster in his kidnapper, dreaming, arresting the criminal, repeating the luck of the father who once tied his hands, easily succumbing to the trick of an elderly cunning man who leads the young man along the way of memories, lit up with the light of memory left by a woman, the former mother of a baby who grew up without knowing her, and now rushing into the trail to touch the past, thrown at his feet by a photographic print and father’s silence, cutting off his mother from his son, leaving him in the wake.
The children’s story is a two-faced story of the comedy-dramatic detective adventures of the boy Nono, from the revelations and confessions of which the naive-fantastic appearance of this picture is formed, where the inquisitive child discovers more than he expected at the beginning, bewildered by the unraveled secrets that mix genre components into a fairy-idealistic plot of an adventurous and criminal sermon, requiring sensitivity to childhood anxiety, aspiring to arrange the world of loved ones and his personal world.

Enthusiastic Thomas Simon, combined in contrast with the mute charm of Isabella Rossellini, who appeared in the role of a retrospective of the old years, is an inventive fiction of the director, giving out a recipe for the spiritual world that saves people from the psychological oppression of the unknown, destroying stereotypes and turning perceptions, connecting together those who were and should become one family.
