One day, a strange girl appears in the ruins of the old amphitheater on the outskirts of the city: Momo. No one knows who she is or where she comes from. She owns nothing but what she finds or what people give her. The children of the town quickly take her to their hearts because Momo is special: she listens to them and gives them her time.
One day, the mysterious gray lords appear all over town. They want to steal people's time in order to use it for their own purposes. But Momo recognizes the danger posed by this dark power. Together with Master Hora, the Keeper of Time, and his turtle Cassiopeia, Momo confronts the gray lords in order to return the stolen time to the people.

On the contrary: in our world, which is characterized by acceleration and a lack of time, Ende's story about the power of time and the power of imagination moves us more than ever.
