Ida lives in a large ten-storey building, next to which stands another, and another, and who knows how many more similar buildings. There is no playground nor are there any trees to climb. Because of that Ida spends most of her time indoors.
One day, when Ida's grandfather asks her to fetch the newspaper from the postbox, she notices a sad-looking potted plant on the windowsill. Next to it stands a sign: "Looking for a new home." Ida decides to take the plant with her.
One by one, a puzzle missing a few pieces, a turtle lurking under a bench, two abandoned parrots, her grandfather's friend's aquarium, and some slightly broken pots and vases she rescues from beside the rubbish bin also find their way into her room. Then Ida's mum knocks on her door, asking "What are you up to, Ida?"
