We are approaching Christmas in a not so distant country where each inhabitant tends to their own little garden when a young traveler arrives, not from too far away, seeking hospitality and a warm meal to restore himself.
But the wary inhabitants, fearful of the arrival of the young man, refuse to help him. The boy then decides to put his creativity and charm into play: he takes out a pot, adds water and three large stones, and starts preparing a delicious stone soup in the town’s central square.
Curious inhabitants will approach and, caught up in the boy’s enthusiasm and resourcefulness, will contribute by each adding their own ingredient, resulting in the stone soup with the addition of onions, potatoes, celery, carrots, and zucchini becoming the tastiest soup ever eaten. And so a great change will occur in the town: the inhabitants will open their homes and their hearts, and for everyone, it will be Christmas.

The show addresses important and urgent themes with simplicity, fun, and poetry, delivering profound content to children and trusting in the power of stories, which truly have the ability to change the world.
