SYNOPSIS

Esther finds a dead bumblebee and gets an idea. Together with her best friend and her little brother Putte, they start a company called Funerals Ltd. Now, an important work begins. They have to bury a small field mouse, a hamster named Nuffe and several other poor, dead animals that might otherwise be left alone on the ground. They write poems and cry a little, because death is such a sad thing. All the Dear Little Animals is a thoroughly offbeat, charming, and whimsical story of three children responding to death. Based on the renowned book by Ulf Nilsson and Eva Eriksson.
