Synopsis

Omer likes playing outside in the garden, in the kitchen, in the sitting room or in his bedroom - in fact he likes playing all around the house. But there are always other things going on in these places and he's often interrupted by his brothers and sisters, or his mum and dad. However, there's one special place Omer can go and play - somewhere where no one else goes. And this is Omer's favorite place of all . . .
