[DeepL Translation - needs review] Bastian is reading a copper-colored book - The country of Fantasien is on the verge of destruction by an unidentified "nihilism. The only way to save the country is to bring a child from the human world. That child is a 10-year-old boy who is reading a brown book - that's me! As soon as he cries out, Bastien is swept into the book and experiences the destruction and rebirth of his country.
