"Little Momo turns up one day in a city suburb and makes her home in the ruins of an old amphitheater. She soon befriends the people in the neighborhood who take it upon themselves to feed and protect her. One day mysterious gray men turn up and begin their campain to steal time from people, and suddenly all of Momo's friends are too buisy to visit her anymore. Momo barely escapes from them with the help of a tortoise which leads her into the land of Secundus Minutus Hora (Time).
