The Story of the Blue Planet

On the blue planet, only children live - and they never grow up. They live happily together until the adult Lajban lands with her spaceship. She teaches them to fly, nails the sun in place so night never comes, and promises a life of endless fun - at the price of a drop of youth. But their new existence has unexpected consequences: what happens to the side of the planet that no longer receives sun, and what is Lajban really after?

The Story of the Blue Planet is based on Andri Snær Magnason's book, dramatized by Jonas Österberg Nilsson in a Swedish translation by John Swedenmark. A beautiful but brutal tale about how our actions and lifestyle have consequences for ourselves and the world.
