In his forgotten repair shop Geppetto spends his days half-heartedly fixing broken things, living a life empty of happiness and joy. One night a mysterious and magical visitor comes to Geppetto's shop and completely turns his life upside down; a lamp causes havoc, a radio bursts into song, and a hoover is determined to cause trouble. Together they go on a journey filled with fun and laughter and Geppetto's new friend leads him into a world full of hope before giving him one last gift... one story’s end is just another story’s beginning.

​
