Have you ever dreamed about characters from your favourite book coming to life?

That’s exactly what happens to Philipp during one enchanted moonlit night. A little dragon leaps out of his book, followed by a grim-looking knight. Philipp has no time to be surprised, because as soWon as he tries to help the poor little dragon, Philipp shrinks to his size…

Knight Tristan is fed up to the back teeth! Clearly too many mice are living in his castle. To get this situation under control again he brings cat Meg inside the fort – known far and wide to be the best mouser.

But the mice have a motto: Offence is the best defence!

Anger is a central condition in the early 21st century. #FridaysforFuture makes pupils and students stand up, many citizens are enraged and new extreme political parties are being voted to protest. Anger tends to be a symptom of anxiety about the unknown.

13 short texts are all about anger.

A feeling that is personal, but still has the power to provoke change. Anger has many colours and forms, these individual forms of anger need to be captured.
