Capybaras – During hunting season, a family of capybaras seek refuge in a chicken coop. But, at first, the hens don’t trust them. Nina’s Friend – Nina sometimes struggles to communicate with other children her age. When she meets Ellie in the park, they begin a friendship, but how will Nina express herself? Ronny: A Crocumentary – A frog makes a documentary about Ronny: the friendly crocodile whose only desire is a hug. Bobel’s Kitchen – Bobel, a poisonous little mushroom, dreams of becoming a cook at his village market. But the prejudices of the villagers will make his task difficult.
