Synopsis

The fourth grader Katariina would love to be like all the other kids - to have friends. The kind of friends who would stay by her side even when she goes a bit over the top. It happens sometimes, you see, even if she does her best to behave well. Time and time again she gets sent out of the class to cool down and ponder about her actions. In the middle of all that there is something that makes her go down to the basement where she ends up meeting a peculiar ghost who gives her a mysterious task to save the mice but doesn't specify what mice and what to save them from. Katariina has to find out that herself, as well as does she have enough courage to become friends to those who's friend no-one else wants to be.
