To heal the sorrow of his mate after the death of their bear child, a male polar bear steals a newborn child from a nearby human couple. The bears bring up the boy as their own and he learns how to live like a bear. But the woman despairs over the loss of her child and the man hunts down the bear family and brings the boy home. The boy faces the choice of becoming a boy again or learning on his own how to be a bear. (Zlín Film Festival)
