Like many of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales and stories, this story about an emperor who due to his own stupidity believed liars and thieves, is still relevant today. In an old abandoned textile factory, two children are playing. Ropes, fabrics, threads, lamps and shadows become their toys. Children tell stories and imagine a world in which the factory reopens and their parents have a job again. The only way to achieve this in the real world is to persuade the emperor to reopen the factory. But perhaps there is another way: deception.
