This is the story of Liv, a girl with a big ribbon, and Bell, a colorful hedgehog, traveling in the flying house of Piggy, the inventor.
Suddenly, one day, the flying house skyrockets and in no time at all, it's in outer space!
It is sucked into a wormhole and crash-lands on a planet in another universe far, far away.
The planet was filled with colorful marimo, inhabited by people who looked like Liv, Bell, and Piggy the inventor.
And The mother of Marimo, who governs time on this planet, is always watching over them from the sky.
Will Liv and her friends be able to get along with the inhabitants of this planet?
Will they be able to return to their own planet?
The answer may lie in the secrets of the Sacred Presence and Marimo.
A beautiful story is spun in stop-motion animation with a set made of paper craft pop-ups in the background, full of surprises to stimulate children's imagination.
This is a message of friendship and compassion to the children who will live in the world of the future.
