One day, all the colors disappear from the valley where the Moomins live, leaving trees, flowers, rivers, and skies gray. Mumintroll and his friend Snif embark on a dangerous raft mission to discover if their valley is threatened by a comet. On their journey, they befriend various creatures, each with something precious they want to save from the cataclysm. Tove Jansson, the creator of the Moomins, built a magical and kind world inhabited by Mumintroll and his family, revolutionizing Nordic folklore by transforming trolls into kind and companionable beings.
