Synopsis

Rights sold: Icelandic

This is a fantasy-rich story about the adventurous journey Somebody Nobodysdaughter, who lives together with her mother in a little seaside village. When others make fun of Somebody Nobodysdaughter for not having a father, the little girl decides to go looking for him, and asks her mother to pack her some food to take along. The journey is long and winding – across innumerable mountains and deep rivers, over fishing bridges and the whole heavens with only a little magic pouch, good luck, and wise escorts to help her on her way. It turns out that the father of Somebody Nobodysdaughter – Nobody – is somebody, about whom people everywhere are able to tell exciting and very mysterious tales.
