Are dreams and thoughts imaginary or real? What a question, of course
they are real: we see them, we hear them; they always accompany us.
Rosa’s thoughts are shaped like Aldo, her funny invisible friend, large
enough to hold everything a little girl can think of: dreams, ideas and
most of all questions. Rosa likes all kind of questions except those of
careless people who always ask her: are you a boy or a girl? She has
very short hair and for this reason she is often considered a boy. But
Rosa is Rosa and that should be enough.
Aldo and Rosa playing wirh dreams and questions venture around the
world to seek out-of-the-ordinary answers.
