Momo, son of Hypnos and the Night, is an ancient god, the god of mischief.
One day he is banished from Olympus for mocking the Gods and, falling to Earth, he transforms into a puppet of wood and fabric: the Fool, the clown, the buffoon.
He finds refuge in the Puppet Theatre together with his friend Palude. But pursued by Law and by Colonel Aringa, he decides to give up mischief and return to heaven. His journey, however, sets in motion different forces and emotions (Order, Fear, Magic, Surprise, Idleness, Celebration and Desire) like seven horses circling in a carousel that marks the passing of time.
IN SHORT
A puppet show for children. Momo, the god of mischief banished from Olympus, lives through many adventures with his friend Palude, full of chases and emotions that intertwine like a great carousel.
