Little Emma is sick with tonsillitis, so she can't go to preschool. Her grandfather takes care of her. He has to persuade her to drink herbal tea and feed her something tasty and nutritious. Like any little child, Emma prefers playing rather than eating. But her grandfather turns out to be a "storyteller" of fairy tales…
On the stage, a dialogue between the child and the adult comes to life, where questions and answers are mutually provoked through the intertwining and alternating of the fantastical and the real.
