Two stories full of tenderness and humor

This program features two complementary stories:

Jack and Nancy (26') : One windy day, Jack and Nancy hold onto a magic umbrella and fly off to a faraway island. But soon, memories of home and family warmth call them back.
Petit Chou (26'): Angèle takes in a tiny baby bird that has fallen from the sky during a storm. She feeds and protects it, until the bird grows too big to stay with her.

These two tales, imbued with Quentin Blake's fantasy and unique pencil stroke, delicately tackle universal themes of friendship, travel, discovery and homecoming.
