While sifting flour, mixing dough and baking bread, a shadow fairytale of love, friendship and otherness comes to life – Mousie Mouse and Whitemouse fairytale. It was inspired by a picture book with the same title, written by Feri Lainšček, a Slovene writer, poet and dramatist. The story of forbidden love which blossoms between Whitemouse, the daughter of the first miller of Mousetown, where uppity white mice live, and Mousie, the son of the best wheat farmer from Mouseville, where hard working field mice live, is basically a story about Romeo and Juliet from the mouse world. Because their parents don’t get along due to social differences, the only solution for the young couple is to run away. Can their love bridge the gap that has been separating the white and grey mice for so long?
