Synopsis

Nine-year-old Daniela is spending a few days at her grandmother’s house in Mondoñedo. They have sent her there while her family empties their flat in Lugo and makes the move to a new house in Vigo, the city where they are going to live from now on.

One afternoon, Daniela climbs up to the attic to investigate what is in there. When she opens an old chest full of books, she has the biggest fright of her life. A mouse comes out of the chest, determined to speak to her in different languages. A mouse which can transform itself into a squirrel, a monkey, a cat and other animals. In fact, it is an extra-terrestrial, sent to Earth to study people. Is is possible that two such different beings can come to understand each other?

Des d’una estrella distant

Daniela no esperava trobar-se un ratolí a casa de l’àvia, i menys encara que parlara! En realitat, és un extraterrestre enviat des d’una estrella llunyana amb una missió: estudiar les persones i descobrir què poden aportar a la civilització –avançadíssima– del seu planeta. Quina deu ser la principal riquesa dels humans?
