Down in the Dumps
For Cinelli, a perfectionist ladybird girl, beauty is the most important thing in the world. Her clumsy neighbour Peri, a cockroach, doesn’t fit into this picture. Peri is hurt that the others do not accept him and steals Cinelli’s dazzling red shell so that he can feel beautiful for once. Without her wings, Cinelli falls into depression and Peri discovers how difficult it is to maintain such a flawless life. Both realise that their true value goes far beyond appearances.
