Aika-arkku

A magical story, all about time and how to use it. Would it be a good idea to skip time? In this novel, people have escaped the unpleasant economical situation to time capsules to avoid time passing until times are better – but with everybody in a time capsule, there's actually nobody out there to make the times become better.

Some children are out there, however, and hear a story from an old lady, about a king who wanted to rule the whole world. In order to rule even time, he got one time chest, and decided to save her daughter from the ravages of time by placing her in the chest, to allow her only to experience the good days.

As you can guess, that whole thing can go wrong in so many ways, and it does, and there's a lesson for all of us: even the bad days are worth living.
