Cherry on the Cake

Synopsis

It's Cherry's birthday and she's excited about spending it with her family, but they're all too caught up in their own worlds to realise. The smaller Cherry feels, the smaller she gets - will she disappear altogether? A little bit of attention goes a long way when you're only 2 centimetres tall.
