What is it that hides behind the blue door that only appears when you close your eyes before falling asleep? The magic, frightening world that expands beyond this fantastic threshold is full of courageous heroes, mysterious monsters, and new friends – even birds who speak the language of humans. A thrilling allegory on the adventure of the departure from childhood, the clash with the problems of modern adult life, and the power of parental love, based on a best-seller popular to adults and children alike.
