Greta et Sumac sont deux malheureuses jeunes écolières qui devront passer l’été dans leur pensionnat, pour des raisons d’argent, entre autre. Le fils du directeur doit les surveiller, mais il est encore sous le choc d’avoir aperçu une soucoupe volante dans le coin de Venus èa travers le télescope qu’ils ont visité. Effectivement, il y a bien une soucoupe qui atterrit non loin de Greta et Sumac, qui deviennent ami avec le petit extraterrestre de Venus, qu’ils vont surnommer Meeba. C’est lui qui a le pouvoir de se transformer en petite soucoupe et il s'empresse de réaliser les souhaits de ses nouvelles amies. Ça tourne toujours mal, s'ils souhaitent un vrai feu au lieu d’un système de chauffage vétuste, Meeba met le feu aux rideaux. Il peut aussi faire marcher de reculons chiens et hommes. C’est lorsque de vilains garnements veulent voler le coffre fort du pensionnat que l’action devient rocambolesque.

In this tribute to James Joyce, Fionnula Flanagan gives a tour-de-force performance as a half-dozen or so women in Joyce's real and fictional worlds.

As Sylvia Beach, the woman who first published Ulysses, new dimensions concerning the importance of Nora in Joyce's literary visions of women emerge, and when Flanagan interprets Joyce characters like Molly Bloom or a washerwoman from Finnegan's Wake, the beauty of Joyce's language shines through the melodious words.
