Sisters Juliette and Carmen only knew the Kingdom of Air Streams from their favourite book. Unexpectedly, they have the opportunity to see the magic land with their own eyes. But what awaits them there?

While reading a novel, the girls encounter a little man who invites them to enter another dimension. The unusual world, however, is not completely open to them. The girls not only grow cat ears and whiskers, but also get into trouble with the mayor himself. It will be a challenge to return home, where Juliette is supposed to be celebrating her fifth birthday. They must find the legendary Sirocco, who causes hurricanes in the kingdom and frightens its people! What plays out in their favour is the sisterly bond and the help of Selma, a duck singer with a heavenly voice who never breaks a promise. The film received the Audience Award at this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival.

Did you know that…

sirocco actually exists? It's a hot, dry wind that blows in the Mediterranean.
