Synopsis

In the midst of a deep forest live tiny elves resembling humans, Josephine and Bertie. Bertie’s job is to look after some very special jingly mushrooms – night lamps – which he lights up and puts out every day. The only one that can give him some really hard times with her nutty ideas is his sister Josephine. Josephine takes care of a group of fussy red mushrooms who grow near their house – she powders their cheeks, cleans their hats and makes sure they don’t argue too much. The little elves would live happily but one day a little water nymph Rusalka appears and Bertie’s mushrooms start disappearing...
