A Very Old New Story

Kiri knows how to ride a horse, play soccer, and dream big dreams-but she is surprised that she can fly without wings. She lands in a mysterious valley surrounded by mountains, where the stars shine all day, a foreboding river bites its tail, and children play around the clock.

The hermit in the hills calls this place Internity. As Kiri explores its mountains, she also gets to know her inner voice, IVy, who isn't always helpful when they face the giant fig tree and fight the old hag. Kiri rides an alchemical comet back to the valley and meets a loving teacher, who prepares her and two new friends, Samson and Yutta, for their journey back to Earth.

In a library without books, the three friends face mirrors and shadows, and an ancient treasure helps them choose their next life. By the time they cross the big river they know their destiny and who they truly are.

Magical and vividly imagined, "Kiri Chooses A Life" is inspired by a classic tale that dips into images and myths from ancient and current traditions.
