Synopsis: In a sky full of planets with supposedly delicious hazelnuts, two greedy squirrels, Nino and Lilli, want to travel there. But León, the wise owl, shows them the reality with his telescope: the extreme climate of these planets makes life impossible. The show, with story and puppets, explains in an entertaining way the immense luck of life on Earth, the result of a series of improbable events that allowed the appearance and maintenance of ideal conditions for life on our planet.
