The story unfolds through the eyes of the child Rosita. In the harsh Siberian landscape, she and her mother secretly care for tiny creatures that have survived from an earlier time when animals dominated the earth. Rosita, an innocent child, becomes Sloe, a jaded teenager, who is thrown out of school, loses her mother, and burned out of her house. Kept alive by the hope that lives deep inside her, Sloe takes off on a journey to save the living treasures she guards.
