Synopsis

Andreas is the new kid in town and the son of top scientific researchers. Tomboy Vero lives next door. She finds his parents really weird and in order to find out what they really do she suggests that they spy on them to find out. It appears that his parents are on the verge, or so they say, of becoming masters of the universe. It suddenly seems obvious that Andreas' parents are aliens. But if his parents are aliens, wouldn't Andreas have noticed by now? While Mum and Dad are away, the children break in and find computer screens referring to the mysterious Linea project. Linea rearranged reads ALIEN! To Vero, this is hard proof. A thriller told from the perspective of a ten year old boy who feels so unloved that he imagines his parents to be monsters, which they are not. Or so they say...
