- The adventures of Little Peter to the music of Serge Prokofiev.
- Musical film for young and old in which a weird and wonderful narrator invites the viewer to go along on a journey to the music of Prokofiev.

The film consists of 4 musical movements: 1. 3rd movement of Prokofiev's 7th piano sonata, 2. A complete version of "Peter and the Wolf" 3. Extracts from the music for the ballet "Romeo and Juliet" 4. A complete version of Prokofiev's little known score "The Winter Bonfire"—director and producer, David Lowe
- "One Fine Morning... is one of the most ingenious and original children's films in recent years. While it was made for and with children, the film is able to persuade many adults to surrender to its associative narrative. In a colorful orgy of light, color and movement the genre of the film musical is reinvented. There is no watertight story with a consistent plot. There is a strange narrator on the silver screen, who takes both the kids in the cinema and in the film into a wondrous and fantasy-filled world. To the music of Prokofievs enchanting classics Romeo and Juliet and Peter and the Wolf they have all kinds of adventures in a strange potpourri of animation and live-action, in which anyone who wants can be initiated into the strangest of worlds. The camerawork conjures beautifully with depth of focus. The cutting convincingly sticks the most diverse worlds together. Special effects augment the occasionally burlesque humor that seems to have been borrowed from the old silent films of Méliès or Buster Keaton." (Rotterdam International Film Festival catalogue 2007) Little Peter takes the wheel of a 2CV and to the music of the 3rd movement of Prokofiev's piano sonata takes us on a journey through Peter and the Wolf, Romeo and Juliet and the Winter Bonfire., all to the music of Prokofiev. This French film was featured in many international film festivals - Rio de Janeiro, Oulu, Seoul, Rotterdam, Chicago, New York... and presents sometimes "difficult' classical music in an entertaining manner. The Peter of "Peter and the Wolf" wanders through the after lives of Romeo and Juliet reunited by the ever faithful nurse and then finds true love to the beautiful romantic music of a relatively unknown Prokofiev composition, "The Winter Bonfire".
