About seeking protection. About nurturing something that is fragile. Slapstick and vaudeville tradition meet puppets and magical illusions.
A hiker flees a storm through a dark forest. With him he has a flower and a photo of his child. The stranger seeks shelter in a house that seems abandoned. But it soon turns out that he is not alone - a bear cub is sleeping in the house and he is soon faced with the challenge of taking care of a rather wild and dangerous baby. What if the mother were to show up?

This is a wordless declaration of love for silent film and physical expression that can be played by young and old. Kalle Nilsson, actor and multiple Swedish champion in children's magic, offers a new breathtaking minimalist gem that can be understood regardless of language.
