Synopsis

On the shortest day of the year, the children of Class One gather in the school playground, each holding a unique clock lantern they've crafted. As night falls, they parade through the town, their colourful lanterns lighting up the dark winter evening. The procession culminates at the beach, where the lanterns are placed together to create a blazing bonfire, followed by a spectacular fireworks display. This heartwarming story celebrates community and the joy of the winter solstice.
