Synopsis

It's all dark!
What happened to the light?
Why is everything black?
Do you know?

In this curious tale, four children, accompanied by their faithful cat, stumble around in the dark and ask, “What's going on when the lights go out?” A lot of imagination and a little bit of science (cue a flashlight and an orange) inspire a creative conclusion. To these young minds, why we have day and night is a big question that can only be answered by one (very hungry) little bug.
