Pickled

Two puppets (a younger and an older one) holding a clock surronded by jars

Synopsis

All Edie has ever known is her Granny’s world. A crumbling mansion, where Edie does whatever Granny does. And what Granny does is pickle.
Together they preserve everything - cucumbers, of course, and green pickle juice, yes, and Edie’s childhood toys as well; plus all the family heirlooms of a vast and forgotten empire.
Everything must be pickled. It’s no easy task to capture all these memories forever. Sometimes, Edie gets a little distracted. In fact, sometimes Edie doesn’t want to pickle at all. No, what she really wants is to dance.
Luckily, Granny keeps her on track. Best friends, working side by side. But there’s something Edie doesn’t know: it’s all just training, for the most important pickling yet. Granny has taught Edie everything she knows, and now it’s time for Granny Pickleworth to join her ancestors.
It's also time for Edie to decide what life she wants to live.
