The little hedgehog, Chimpychoux, feels a great sadness. Pirpirinos Plum Papardelinos, the yellow parrot with the orange crest and the multicolored tail sitting on a blue kumquat tree, advises him that to overcome his sadness, he needs to be hugged by someone and given one, or rather two, or rather three, or rather four kisses.

Thus begins an adventurous quest for a hug in meadows of red tulips, in lakes with caramel bridges, in forests with blackberries, and in towns with forgotten marionettes. An exciting search filled with numerous disappointments but also a wonderful surprise!
