"The great man is one who has not lost his child's heart." (Chinese proverb by Meng-tzu) An old theater has been empty for many years. A rumor is circulating that a ghost is wreaking havoc. Despite the warnings of the city fathers, a new theater troupe moves into the spaces and begins to rehearse the fairy tale "The Fisherman and His Wife." Of course, the ghost doesn't just watch... The ghost - who, by the way, after a closer look, and above all after a closer hearing, turns out not to be so scary - tells his story.
