In the valley of the Moomins, life goes on as usual. The seasons change one after another, guests come and go, coffee steams on the veranda, and the inhabitants of the valley ponder over important life questions, awaiting new visitors and adventures. As a rule, they do not have to wait long. Either an unknown 'Christmas' wakes the Moomins in the middle of their winter hibernation, or an invisible girl suddenly appears out of nowhere, or the last dragon in the world is discovered in the garden. Or suddenly Moominpappa decides to trade the valley for an island in a stormy sea and become a lighthouse keeper. And so it always goes: someone stays at home, someone sets off on a journey; someone forgets their own name, while someone else, on the contrary, finds it.
