About This Program ✦
is a television programme presented as a single episode. The show follows the whimsical adventures of its small cast of characters, delivering light‑hearted stories that are easy to follow. Its format is that of a short, self‑contained narrative rather than a series of linked arcs. In this particular episode, Zepto and Pico set out for a picnic, only to have their plans interrupted by a swarm of hungry ants. The insects descend on their spread, turning what should be a pleasant meal into a chaotic scramble. Meanwhile, Atto joins Pico in a separate endeavour: the two friends are on the lookout for a suitable spot to plant a solitary broad bean that has nowhere else to grow. The ants’ sudden appearance creates an unexpected hurdle for Zepto and Pico. Their hunger drives them to swarm the food, forcing the pair to react quickly and protect their provisions. The disruption is brief but enough to shift the focus of the scene, highlighting how even small creatures can change the course of a simple outing. At the same time, Atto and Pico’s quest for a planting location underscores the bean’s isolation. The broad bean, described as lonely, needs a safe patch of earth, and the duo’s careful search reflects their determination to give it a home. Their efforts are portrayed as gentle and purposeful, rounding off the episode with a quiet, hopeful note.
