## Synopsis

Hidden beneath an old country house lives a family of tiny people who survive by quietly 'borrowing' the odds and ends humans never miss. When the family's spirited teenage daughter is spotted by a gentle, ailing boy staying in the house, the cardinal rule of her people — never be seen — begins to break, and their careful little world turns dangerous. It's a beautifully observed story about courage, kindness, and the bravery of reaching across a divide.
