Kalina Muhova’s Diana sottosopra is the story of a journey between two worlds, told in a style that mixes Alice in Wonderland and Madama Holle by the Grimm Brothers.
Diana gets lost in the forest and discovers the Little People, a group of small green creatures living in a fantastic world now destroyed by all the pollution caused by humans. Diana tries to escape at first, but eventually chooses to stay and turn an ecological threat into an opportunity to follow her destiny.
