synopsis

When clouds cover Blankenberge beach, seven-year-old Jordi and his dog Valentino are left on their own. Jordi digs a hole while Valentino watches. The hole becomes a tunnel containing colourful rapids that sweep Jordi deep underground. He emerges in Kenya, where he is greeted by Mila and her giraffe Kenzo. Mila digs another hole and the duo tumbles through more rapids, landing at the snowy North Pole with Olga and her walrus Givenchy. They play in the snow until Mila and Jordi are drawn into a luminous whirlpool. It’s another tunnel! Jordi falls from the moon into the sea, returning to Blankenberge.
Lorsque les nuages recouvrent Blankenberge, Jordi (7 ans) et son chien Valentino se retrouvent seuls. Avec deux parapluies et une balle, Jordi creuse un puits sous le regard de Valentino. La fosse devient un tunnel qui entraîne Jordi dans des rapides colorés. Il se retrouve au Kenya, où Mila (7 ans) et sa girafe Kenzo l'accueillent. Mila creuse encore, et ensemble ils tombent dans un nouveau rapide. Ils atterrissent au pôle Nord, où Olga (9) et le morse Givenchy s'amusent. Un tourbillon lumineux aspire Jordi et Mila. Jordi tombe de la lune dans la mer et revient. Le lendemain, quand la plage est pleine, il creuse plus loin, en attendant l'aventure.
Wanneer wolken Blankenberge bedekken, blijven Jordi (7) en zijn hond Valentino alleen achter. Met twee parasols en een bal graaft Jordi een kuil terwijl Valentino toekijkt. De kuil wordt een tunnel die Jordi meesleurt in kleurrijke stroomversnellingen. Hij belandt in Kenia, waar Mila (7) en haar giraffe Kenzo hem verwelkomen. Mila graaft verder, en samen vallen ze in een nieuwe stroomversnelling. Ze landen op de Noordpool, waar Olga (9) en walrus Givenchy spelen. Een lichtgevende draaikolk zuigt Jordi en Mila weg. Jordi valt van de maan in zee en keert terug. De volgende dag, als het strand vol is, graaft hij verder, wachtend op avontuur.
