Where is there any free time for all the many more beautiful things she would like to do? While doing some cleaning in the attic, Lisa discovers a painted box with a small book in it; mysterious verses are inscribed there in a simple handwriting. When her grandmother helps her decipher the unfamiliar letters, strange things suddenly happen. Lisa wakes up in a completely strange and fantastic world, in which a cruel ruler is stealing the life force from her subjects by means of a time machine! Lisa meets the courageous boy Tom with his dog Tati and Tom's three sisters; They are all threatened by a dangerous, highly contagious time sickness. Can Lisa ever find her way back home?
