One autumn night a young fox decides the moon is lonely and sets out to bring it home. On the way she meets an owl, a heron and a very sleepy badger, each with a plan of their own.

The show is played by two puppeteers and one cellist behind the screen, with forty cut-out puppets and a moon that really does move.
