When you live in a Hotel, life comes to you! This is certainly the experience of Rosy and George, eleven-year-old friends who live in Seaside Hotel, an aging beachfront property owned by George's father. As optimistic Rosy sees it, there's endless potential for excitement and adventure in the passing parade of guests. "Who could ask for more?" Well, George certainly could. "Freaks of the world unite, and come to stay at dad's hotel", he bemoans. Though these two are opposites in many ways they also have lots in common, the pressures of adolescence and the unpredictability of life in a hotel. The unlikely friendship that results lies at the heart of this comic animated series. Based on the best-selling book series by Fanny Joly. (52 x 13 min)
