In the near future, young Gaia's dreams are shattered by the evil people who populate the city. Her grandfather tries to distract her by using her imagination. He creates for her, a fantastic place to hide from reality, a reality in which the oil reserves are almost finished and in which plastic has become a valuable material.
In un futuro non troppo lontano i sogni della piccola Gaia sono rovinati dai cattivi che abitano la città. Il nonno la distrae facendole usare la fantasia, le crea un nuovo mondo, un luogo fantastico dove potersi rifugiare per scappare dalla realtà, una realtà in cui le riserve petrolifere sono quasi esaurite e la plastica è diventata un bene prezioso.
