Synopsis

Klincus is an adaptation of the series of children’s books by Italian author Alessandro Gatti (Klincus Corteccia) which were published in 10 volumes, between 2009 and 2013. The series follows the adventures of Klincus as he lives with his new friends, the diminutive inhabitants of Frondosa, which is a village built into the trees of the Bosco Grande.

Klincus tries as best he can to defend this paradise on earth from the industrialist Graylock, who seeks to destroy the forest for his own personal gain. Little by little, as he protects the people of Frondosa from danger, Klincus discovers his true abilities and learns a new life lesson at the end of each episode. The series looks to raise the environmental awareness of the very youngest of audiences.
