Summary
Sprightly animation recreates the bittersweet tale of the marzipan pig who is abandoned behind a sofa and whose wistful longings live on in a chain of tender communications. A mouse who eats the pig pines for the attention of a grandfather clock. Eating the mouse who consumed the marzipan pig, an owl becomes enamored with a lovely, purple-glowing taxi meter and another mouse is filled with the desire to become a hibiscus flower.
