THE MAGIC MUSIC BOX – Stefania Bellini

A grandfather buys a collectible music box from a friend and wishes to give it to his little granddaughter. Elisabetta is a twelve-year-old girl who is not very sociable and refuses to connect with others. The girl’s character has been shaped by the grief of losing her mother, the victim of a car accident.
During the night, the music box lights up, illuminating the room; Elisabetta wakes and discovers the magical object! And so begins an adventurous journey into the world of fairy tales, where surprises come alive and the angel’s wild, soaring flights are there to be experienced. During one of these flights, disaster strikes: the music box falls and shatters into a thousand pieces. The angel tries to ask his delightful animal friends for help, but each of them turns him down, so he turns to a master, the keeper of the library — and it is he who will manage to help him…
