The film’s genius lies in these details: every nut, bolt, and knitting needle feels alive.

The story unfolds in the sleepy, fictional mountain village of Flaklypa (Pinchcliffe). Here lives the eccentric inventor Reodor Felgen (Theodore Rimspoke), a bicycle repairman with a moustache as magnificent as his mind. Alongside him are his two loyal, if somewhat hapless, companions: Solan Gundersen, an optimistic and talkative magpie who dreams of glory, and Ludvig, a melancholy, existentialist hedgehog who spends his days worrying about the future and his nights playing the cello.
