It is summer time and so incredibly hot that Mia gets very upset when her mother tells her that they cannot go to the lake as promised. So Mia has to spend the day sitting in the kitchen with Ingo, the timid son of her mother’s friend. Playing “I spy with my eye” with him is just as boring because Mia always guesses the object he has in mind. But then more and more things in the kitchen seem to come to life and interact with the kids. Finally, Mia is in the middle of the sea, swimming through stormy waves on the kitchen table with Ingo, while the sun going down above the water offers a beautiful sight.
