Outline

One day, the little flower seller Beruko-chan visits the stingy and mean Mr Owl. At first Mr Owl is irritated by the way the girl makes him buy flowers, but gradually they open up to each other. This is a heartwarming non-verbal comedy depicting the relationship between two characters whose ages and ways of life are completely different. Without using words, the three performers – an actor, a dancer and a musician – weave a delightful tale through movement and music.
