GroM wakes up one morning to find that his mouth is stuck in a sour face. He wants to be happy. He wants to smile. When his best friend LobO comes to visit, the two set off together to find a solution — trying a circus visit, magic potions, and everything in between. Nothing works. Everything gets worse. What GroM eventually discovers is that the thing he was looking for was right there all along: a hug from a good friend. A wordless Swedish animated short about happiness, friendship, and the surprising simplicity of what we actually need. For all ages. Free with ads.
