Little Man

Little Man lives a contented life in his little house inside Hollow Mountain. His peaceful existence comes to an end when he dreams of a mysterious house where he will find what is missing from his life. Since he does not feel that anything is missing, he decides to unravel the mystery. He sets out to consult Empty Head, hoping to learn where the mysterious house can be found. But Empty Head needs a drink of sparkling water from the island in the lake before he can offer any advice. And so begins Little Man’s long journey—at times amusing, at times dangerous and frightening, and above all seemingly endless. Along the way, he meets many friends and helpers, but also enemies determined to stop him from reaching his goal at any cost. In the end, he even manages to overcome the Great Distress, who has claimed the spring of sparkling water for herself. Only then does Empty Head remember and give him the answer. To his astonishment, Little Man discovers that what he had been missing—and searching for all along—had been almost right in front of him from the very beginning. All that remains is to hold a final celebration, because a good thing has been accomplished.
