What is Chirri & Chirra, under the sea about?

Chirri and Chirra pedal their bicycles through a mysterious cave and emerge beneath the sea. They travel through colourful coral, swaying seaweed and rooms filled with beautiful shells, meeting a lively cast of underwater creatures along the way. Their journey includes curious discoveries, surprising performances and delicious treats, from sea parfait to jelly topped with pearls. With gentle wonder and plenty of imaginative details, the twins explore a magical ocean world before cycling home.
