Nini Patalo is the zany everyday life of a little girl surrounded by a new family whose members are each crazier than the next : Jean-Pierre, a thawed-out caveman ; André, a duck addicted to channel surfing ; and Patalo, a creature who can transform into anything whose name ends with an “o.” The episodes of the series are energetic chronicles (oh yes) presenting the relationships, adventures, and moods of this unusual tribe.
