As they immerse themselves in this world where the unexplainable intertwines with the everyday, Momo and the boy embark on an adventure to restore the balance between the supernatural and the real. “Dandadan” promises a captivating narrative, exploring magic, mysteries and connections beyond the obvious, as the characters struggle to regain a normal life in the midst of the extraordinary.
