Synopsis

In a cosy house, a family of four shares their home with a secretive mouse family that only emerges at night. When the mice are discovered, the father calls a mouse catcher. The children, concerned for their tiny friends, warn them of the danger. The mice escape to the garden, where the children create miniature playgrounds for them. As winter approaches and the mice disappear, the children wonder about their fate, leading to a heartwarming tale of friendship and compassion.
