Summer camp. It sounds like adventure and fun. Nine-year-old Emmi, however, wishes to be far away. So many unfamiliar children. Luckily, her counselor Malin is super nice and even shares Emmi's passion for fantasy role-playing games – soon she becomes part of a really cool group, where no dragon castle or refrigerator is safe. Summer can come. If it weren't for this incident that no game master could have imagined more frighteningly: Emmi gets her period for the first time. And despite all the friendship – she has to keep this a secret from the others, she is so embarrassed. But Malin proves to be an empathetic, life-experienced friend who gradually helps Emmi overcome her fear of the disturbing changes in her body. After all, Emmi still needs a little fear: for the traditional night hike. Ines Korth shows how entertaining and at the same time informative it can be to address and alleviate shame and confusion surrounding menstruation in very young people.
