Synopsis
A young girl finds a hole in the ground and is absolutely thrilled… but it soon turns out that holes aren’t very good at playing games, and they don’t pay much attention to tea parties with dolls. But what is a hole for if not to grow pretty flowers? Once she discovers this very enticing property, she finds there is enjoyment to be had time and time again! Beautifully animated, ‘A Hole’ teaches the joys of the miracle of life.
