Synopsis:
A storm knocked down a giant, magic oak. People did not know its strength and made of it hundreds of wooden items; each item has preserved a piece of this magical power. Two children, who ran away from their much-hated aunt to their mother who works in Belgium, find a chair made of the magic wood. The chair has the ability to act as a living creature and fulfil the wishes of everyone who sits on it...
