Description

In 'Moominpappa at Sea,' Moominpappa, driven by a desire for adventure and the urge to prove himself, takes his family away from their comfortable home to live on a remote lighthouse island. As they adapt to their new surroundings, each family member faces personal challenges and quests for self-discovery, set against the backdrop of the mysterious and magical elements inherent to the island. Moominpappa yearns to make a fresh start, to find a rocky island and lighthouse where he’ll feel alert and important again. The Moomins set sail for a new home. Upon arriving, the island proves as mysterious and wild as Moominpappa had hoped, complete with a deserted lighthouse.
