One night, in the Realm of the Moon, in the middle of the central plaza came and stood a house entirely made from transparent frozen glass. Behind its glass walls that are completely transparent and yet solid, lives a girl. She is a beautiful girl, and more beautiful inside. Many blink at her and call her to come outside to talk to her, to help her, even to take her with them if she wants, but she seems not to listen. She continues her life in an invisible universe where everything is transparent, almost unreal - unreal for those who believe only what they can see with their eyes. But how did she end up here? Many have said they love her and it is probably true as they stood behind her wall for days, even months trying to find the way to enter. Knights and princes, a poet and a painter, a wizard and an astronomer, the twin firewalkers, all make a try. Will there finally be someone to succeed in saving the girl?
