Moominvalley in November

As the cold, grey dampness of November sets in, a diverse group of eccentric characters—including Fillyjonk, the Hemulen, and the small boy Toft—individually feel drawn to Moominvalley, seeking the warmth, comfort, and acceptance of the Moomin family. However, upon arrival, they discover the Moominhouse is completely empty. Deciding to stay together anyway, these mismatched guests must learn to inhabit the vacant space. Through their interactions, they confront their own anxieties and eccentricities, ultimately discovering how to find within themselves the peace they were seeking from others.
