Set in an 18th-century fishing village, this is the story of the 10-year-old boy Jonas Block, whose life is suddenly overshadowed when his father is lost at sea. From now on he leads a miserable life in the local vicarage, only to be finally redeemed in a magical encounter with the dwarf-sorcerer Grido, who lets him look behind a magic door.
