Synopsis
There is no end to the catastrophes that befall the Hemulen - barely has the hailstorm destroyed his beloved plants when a terrible wind makes off with part of his roof, and then Little My descends on him, making the hole in the roof even bigger. She and her friends decide to do all the necessary repairs, and get so caught up with their work that when it is finished they decide to repaint everything inside, too. This is very kind of them, but sometimes people like their old walls, even if the paint may peel a bit...

Production notes
A Moomintroll is small and shy and fat, and has a Moominpappa and a Moominmamma. Moomins live in the forests of Finland. They like sunshine and sleep right through the winter. The snow falls and falls and falls where they live, until their houses look like great snowballs. But when spring comes, up they jump.&Momin characters reflect a specific human type. Their many adventures and subsequent resolutions stress important family values, non-violence and individual qualities of kindness, self-confidence and independence.
