Synopsis
Micia and the Grandparents’ Farmhouse
Among gentle hills, a vegetable garden and an old fig tree stands a country farmhouse. This is where Micia lives, a rag-doll kitten in starry blue dungarees with three golden half-moons on her chest. She is curious, affectionate and a little clumsy: she often sets off with a clear plan, but a butterfly or an unusual sound is all it takes to change her mind.
Every day the farmhouse offers her a new adventure. A missing ball of yarn leads her all the way to the hayloft; an unlabelled seed becomes a surprise to grow; a rainy day turns the attic into the perfect place to invent games. Even making a snack or tidying a flowerpot can take a funny, unexpected turn.
Keeping her company are Poldo, a methodical hedgehog who keeps everything in its proper place; Lilla, a snail who notices the details everyone else misses; and Nino, a lively sparrow, always ready to tell what he has seen beyond the garden. Each has their own habits and wishes, and reaching an agreement sometimes takes a little patience.
The seasons change the landscape and inspire new discoveries: sprouts in spring, shade and fruit in summer, colourful leaves in autumn, misty windows and biscuits in winter.
Each episode tells a small, complete adventure, with a mishap, a few attempts and a tender or funny ending. Some details carry over from one episode to the next: the seed grows, an object gets repaired, a project takes shape.
The tone is calm, imaginative and suitable for all ages. Difficulties arise from misunderstandings, small setbacks and everyday curiosity. At the heart of it all are friendship, creativity, care for nature and the joy of doing things together, without preaching.
Each episode’s illustration depicts a scene that actually appears in the story, keeping Micia, her friends and the farmhouse settings consistent.
