Synopsis

Two families live in a little old house - the normal-sized Lenders and the 4-inch tall Clocks. While the Clocks are fully aware of their housemates, the Lenders have no idea there are tiny people living with them "borrowing" items and helping themselves to food! But the peaceful life that the Clocks and the Lenders live is threatened when a lawyer sets out to demolish the house. Will the Clocks and the Lenders save their happy home?

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."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
