This delightful story revolves around two siblings, Mitzi and Fritz Toymaker, as they navigate their lives in Nuremberg, the city of toys, through their love of music and adventure. Their journey takes them across Germany, where they experience various cultural landmarks and ultimately discover the significance of following their passions amidst familial expectations.
