Fixies are used to hiding from people, but they are everywhere: in computers, refrigerators, TVs ... Everyone remembers the cases when a non-working device suddenly began to work if it is lightly tapped. It's simple: a fixer woke up inside and made everything work. And now you can watch cartoons about these mysterious hard-working people and get to know them better...
