A new man comes into the world and his fate is watched over by three female judges. One of them endows him with exceptional qualities, the second puts many obstacles in his way and the third advises him how he can find his happiness in life in spite of everything. But what happens if one of the women judges fails in her task? In a fairy tale story full of suspense, humour and surprises, the kind and wise girl Johanka finds out for herself... There will be a stubborn prince, an unjust and greedy uncle, or a forgetful fairy Tea, but most of all a lot of love, which, as it happens in fairy tales, will help Johanna to overcome almost all the obstacles of fate.
A chamber play depicts the tense yet tender daily interactions between an elderly intellectual grandmother mourning her late husband and her daughter’s child on maternity leave, who lives alone in the family’s large house. Their generational clashes over values, technology, and changing social norms reveal both alienation and moments of mutual understanding.
Expressed by movements and metaphors without language, the story’s plot develops dreamlike interactions between simple human beings. Taking up the invitation to look into the made up odd-world and its fascinating odd-forest, the spectator gets to meet the naive, childish, but in their plainness still wonderful, inhabitants. Boy meets girl. Girl meets another boy. Boy meets another boy. And girl meets another girl. But did we try all possibilities?
