In a world where animals and humans coexist, a young boy named Nils is transformed into a miniature version of himself by a mischievous elf named Athanor. Nils discovers he can now speak with animals and becomes friends with a wise old goose named Martin. Together, they embark on an incredible journey with a flock of wild geese, led by the experienced Akka. Along the way, Nils learns the importance of community and living by its rules, as he faces various challenges and obstacles. But what were Athanor's true intentions behind transforming Nils? The answer lies in Athanor's desire to give the young elf Lina an ally against the dangerous plans of the dark elf, and to protect her world and nature itself.
