Join ANTIC the picnic ant on his travels through Jozi to help her find her way home. On their journey they meet typical local “goggas”: LOLA the Ladybird, CONNIE the Chameleon, Bumble Bee, the stick insects: TWIGGY AND LEAFY, the ever pompous old QUEEN BEE, HUGO the “Joller”, and various other colourful creatures.

She learns about the cultures and different languages and even manages to make new friends and find love. Does she want to return to London?
