Photographer Manu plans to prove that fairy‑tale creatures exist. The plan is brilliantly simple: first, he descends through a dried‑up well to an underground fairy spring leading to the story world. Then he finds a fairy‑tale creature and TSÄP! – snaps a photo at just the right moment!

As said, a brilliant plan! But will everything go according to Manu’s plan? Not quite. In the world of tales there are plenty of creatures, and where there are fairy beings, there are adventures. And adventures tend to sweep you along. Will there even be time to snap any photos?
