In a hierarchical kingdom isolated by magical nature, a young girl named Jasna lives. Gifted with the power of critical thinking and a fierce sense of justice, she comes into conflict with the evil ruler Volk. He condemns her to a difficult path from which there is no return. By overcoming her own fear, strong inner courage and meeting the protector of the forest, Orl, she finds the key to changing the system – the free establishment of the entire kingdom. The journey of the main female heroine is based on contemporary ecological and feminist perspectives and promotes interpersonal acceptance and love. Visually, the film combines live-action scenes with 2D and 3D animations, which are complemented by musical sequences inspired by the genre of contemporary rap.
