Boo‑Boom! The Long Way Home – Episode 1

In this first episode of Boo‑Boom! The Long Way Home, a young boy is separated from his parents during a wartime evacuation in 1944 Italy due to an air‑raid and a subsequent explosion. Traumatized and rendered mostly mute, the boy is discovered alone in a devastated countryside by a group of unlikely companions — a noble horse, a clever cat, a talkative rooster, a brave military dog, and a loyal bee. Out of concern and kindness, the animals nickname the boy “Boo‑Boom” (the only words he can say), and together they embark on an emotional and dangerous quest to reunite him with his parents, using only a cherished photograph and hope as their guide.

The series combines adventure, friendship, and survival drama with anthropomorphic animal characters and a backdrop of war‑torn Europe. While the setting is serious, the narrative maintains a tone accessible for older children and family viewers through themes of courage, loyalty, and compassion.

15:56i used to live on a farm in my beloved south
16:00i plowed the fields and the farmer lived off my work with his family
16:04they repaid me with love and respect
16:07it was a hard but tranquil life
16:11until the war came knocking at my door
16:16some tired soldiers turned up in search of food and water
16:20like any sicilian my owner welcomed them and gave them everything he could
16:25but after eating and drinking someone noticed me
16:28at first my owner objected but then he grasped the situation and i was handed over to those men
16:36and i've never seen my owners since
16:41after leaving the farm i walked for days
16:44only seeing war and destruction
16:47and i crossed the sea
16:50only to find war and destruction on the other side too
16:57i was all alone in a strange land
