Little Tumi can't sleep. He accepts the man in the moon's invitation to come to him "for a meeting of good friends" and floats off in his bed into the spring night. In his path will be curious birds, life-experienced raindrops, children from all over the world and the man in the moon himself, who has long warned the inhabitants of the earth and now has an important mission for the children. This incredible adventure journey is presented here in speech and tones in a light style, while images are projected on a screen for added effect.
