Synopsis

Yaya, Mo, and Pic are three young marmots preparing for their very first hibernation. When their parents fall asleep before finishing the tale of Affreunard, the curious trio ventures into the snowy mountains to find the famous, and perhaps not so fearsome, fox and discover how the story ends. Their search soon becomes a hilarious adventure filled with curiosity, surprises, and wintry mischief.
