Animations are also a popular feature of the series, with characters such as Iron Man, and chats between emoticons, flies, and school bags. Nothing is too absurd!

In order to survive the year, the six strangers must find a path through new challenges and adventures. A long way from home, the last thing they expect to find is family.
