Albert lives in his own little universe; a universe where turtles can glide with parachutes and all of the world’s diseases can be cured. Albert and his best friend Theodor often play on the rooftop of Albert’s apartment. It is the only place where time stands still and where everything is possible. For many years, Albert’s mother has been suffering from incurable cancer, but Albert has a hard time understanding how bad the disease really is. He believes that he can cure his mother through the games he plays with Theodor.
