In a Box
Details
Valerio, a self-made enthusiast from Rome, and Sebastian, a scientist from Bielefeld, fight the raging mass extinction by taking endangered geckos and fishes into the safety of their own homes. Burned out, armed with buckets and boxes, our protagonists take us to the world of tiny creatures, where even the plain looking ones are precious and where joy and friendship prevails.
