Summary
A family drama series adapted from Mary Norton’s classic novels, it follows the Clock family, Pod, Homily and their daughter Arrietty, who are diminutive beings approximately 15 cm tall. The Clocks live concealed beneath the floorboards of a human household, sustaining themselves through discreet “borrowing” from the “human beans” above. When Pod elects to bring Arrietty on a routine borrowing expedition, the decision exposes them to unforeseen threats that challenge the family’s long‑established strategies for survival.
