Each scene is a visual feast, with a stage intricately designed to reflect the vibrant world of vegetables and fruits bursting with color and imagination.
The story unfolds in the radiant Lemon Kingdom, where distinctions are drawn between the ‘nobles’ and the ‘commoners’. Amidst this vibrant setting, Chipollino, the compassionate onion, emerges as a beacon of hope and love. Alongside his devoted friend Carrot, they embark on a heartwarming mission to include a little lemon left out due to Prince Lemon’s prejudices.
