“Elli must solve a riddle set by her mother. This time, however, it is not her computer that comes to her aid, but another kind of ‘magic screen,’ one that carries her far away. Riding a bicycle through the sky, young Elli encounters a cyclist who blows luminous bubbles from his mouth, a clown playing with colorful balls of yarn spun from rainbows, and a giant with a beautiful garden growing on his head. Then, at last, she reaches a planet scented with oranges. A wondrous new world unfolds before her, where the colors of the earth never fade and imagination becomes reality.”
