Synopsis

Peter, Monika and the little dog Struppi plant a little apricot tree. During the spring the tree is in full bloom. But when summer comes it is so dry and the kids and Struppi are worried about their tree. One day, they decide to go to the weather station and ask about the missing rain. What an adventure! They are allowed to fly in an airplane that creates artificial rain clouds. Finally rain comes and the golden apricots can grow.

 

This animated film is based on a children's book by Margarete Neumann.
