Matea is in 3a and knows that everything makes sense in the world. The lake makes sense because animals live in it and she can swim in it so wonderfully. Riding a bike makes sense because it gets you to the lake faster. Even crying makes sense, because sadness is like a flood in the heart - and then it subsides. Only the letters don't make sense. They run away, hide, twist and turn. And then she has to write an essay about her best vacation experience...
Her best friend and half-cousin Otto, on the other hand, holds a book between himself and the world. He can read everything - and he does. He writes like he's printed, letters soothe him like nothing else. But he wouldn't dip a toe in the lake.
Matea, Otto and the Letters is about friendship, the love of language and the fact that there are many ways to learn. A poetic play about dyslexia, courage and the question: who actually decides what is clever?
