action

The 5-year-old Sara is often teased by other children, her hat is stolen and things that she has made are destroyed. Sara's mother hardly has any time for her because she always has to work. But there is something that sets Sara apart from other children. There are things such as B. Shooting stars and soap bubbles that make your stomach tingle. When she feels this tingling sensation, she can fly. "I'm flying," she remarks with satisfaction, while her mother worries about the disease that might be behind this phenomenon.

In the beginning, of course, nobody believes that she can fly, you just see her as a child with a lively imagination. But when it turns out that she can really fly, the family doctor refers her to the hospital. There are the two malicious doctors Dr. Näslund and Dr. Kropp who want them to fly to get the Nobel Prize.

The professors rub their hands with joy at being able to examine this unique child, but despite extensive examinations and a layered x-ray of the brain, it is not possible to find the special tingling sensation.
