A volcano erupts in Moomin Valley and heavy floods force the Moomin family to leave their house. They hitch a ride on a mysterious building which turns out to be a floating theatre. Meanwhile Snufkin goes into battle against a grumpy park-keeper, and Moomin and Snorkmaiden find themselves stuck up a tree. Will they make it back to the others in time for midsummer’s eve, and the premiere of Moominpapa’s new play?

Based on one of Tove Jansson’s classic tales, this colourful new adventure is very close in style to the fondly-remembered Polish Moomins cartoon of the 70s.
