On Theodor’s journey through Thannanaya, he learns to say goodbye to his grandfather and develops a friendship with the new girl in his class, Simone. Theodor and Simone learn who they are, learn to say goodbye and learn to embrace life. In addition to being an adventurous journey through an ancient nature world, Theo & The Magic Talisman is a classic coming-of-age story about three generation’s ways of saying goodbye. A young boy’s goodbye to his grandfather, a mother’s goodbye to her father and an old man’s goodbye to life. The Magic Talisman is a modern fantasy series for the whole family, where we try to describe what happens when we die and where we are reminded that it is important and not dangerous to say goodbye. It is our take on how life goes on and how the departed always will stay with us as long as we remember them.
