An adventurous journey over the ocean
Fiete lives happily and contentedly alone on his little island in the sea. Everything has its own place here: the waves come and go, the flashing lighthouse shows the ships the way, and from its top Fiete can look far and wide into the world and watch the fish. Then one day, nothing is the same anymore. The sea changes, the water rises higher and higher and swallows up everything around it. Even Fiete's island. When the top of the lighthouse starts to disappear beneath the waves, Fiete has to leave his home. And thus, he starts on a journey over the vast ocean, which is no longer as calm as it used to be. He searches among lost whales, ghost nets and useless carpets for a place where he can stay and find a new home.
