Synopsis

Deciding to take a break from spinning cotton, a woman bites into an apple and finds a strange worm inside. After feeding him, she discovers that he has a remarkable gift for spinning cotton and takes him back to her father to show him what she’s found. But her father has selfish and greedy motives, hiding the worm away in a cage and force-feeding him baskets of apples to get rich from the cotton. This short animated fairy tale showcases the power of storytelling with a clear moral about greed at its centre.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
