"The secret of the Blue Town" tells of three children of the town of Tinturia who, tired of watching the inhabitants of their town constantly fighting, decide to go to the Blue Town in search of the elisir for harmony, protected by the sirens.
During the journey, the three children have time to reflect on the important things in life: the value of peace, of culture, the importance of a good eating habit, respect for enviroment and the value of popular wisdom.
After many happenings, the three children manage to obtain the elisir and spray it on the inhabitants of Tinturia who are all together in the piazza to celebrate the patron saint and who all of a sudden stop fighting.
Whilst they are all embracing eachother, the grandfather of one of the children intervens and gives voice to his expirience, bringing magic to an earthly level and propose the only panacea possible capable of fighting hastred: love and the good will of everyone.
