Santiago de Compostela. 1919. After a very hard childhood, the doctor Hermes centres all his efforts in obtaining the elixir that grants the eternal happiness. Formula after formula comes to a clear conclusion: to isolate the happiness in pure state that the dolls contain. The problem was in that no child would give him his toy though it was for the good of the humankind. After thinking about it very much, he still had an only option: he had to steal the dolls.
