漆黑的泥土之中，一只小蚯蚓懵懵懂懂睁开了双眼。它奋力扭动着身躯，好奇地探索着周围的世界。它漫无目的四处爬行，突然间遇到另一只小蚯蚓，它们都被彼此吓了一跳。未过多久，两个小家伙相互熟捻起来，于是快乐地在泥土中挖起隧道，组成一幅幅精美绝伦的图画，它们甚至连笨重的巨石也征服了。不过，在接下来的旅途中，两只蚯蚓却发生分歧。最后它们按照各自所设想的方向前行，并分别来到的外面的世界。天空蔚蓝，草绿水清，四周鸟语花香，还有笨拙可爱的小蜗牛。然而危险无处不在，贪婪的大鸟盯上了正自顾自欣赏美景的小蚯蚓…… 本片荣获1994年渥太华国际动画片电影节最佳儿童片制作奖。

Gauche is a diligent but mediocre cellist who plays for a small town orchestra and the local cinema in the early 20th century. He struggles during rehearsals and is often berated by his conductor during preparations for an upcoming performance of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. Over the course of four nights, Gauche is visited at his mill house home by talking animals as he is practicing.
