What happens when a cabbage mysteriously disappears?
Jenny’s house is far from being an ordinary one, and anything can happen in it.
Her fridge talks for a start! And not just that.
From the armchair to the door, from the umbrella to the kitchen knife, everything springs to life as soon as Jenny leaves. Her house is a lively community of objects, each one with their distinctive personality, all coming together to care for their old, lovely and wonderfully forgetful lady.
Jenny, totally unaware of their secret, enjoys every unexpected treat of the house with childlike happiness and blissful spirit.
But the sudden loss of the cabbage wreaks havoc in the house. Only a risky expedition can avoid disaster. And so the objects must embark on a fantastic adventure in the ‘outside world’…
A whimsical and magical story, approaching forgetfulness with a kind and delicate touch.
