Synopsis:
Federico is a different mouse from others, which is why he is not understood by his companions. «Isn’t Federico working?», they ask him, but he is a poet and is gathering words for the cold winter days; words that feed the soul as well as the body.
A tribute to diversity, art and poetry. To the contribution everyone makes in a different and unique way.
