Hiro is a bear who is too curious to sleep all winter. She leaves her cave to take a look around. From between the trees, lanterns and children wearing pointed hats appear. It’s a party! When they see her, the children flee. All of them, except Émile. They get to know one another. What if being a bear or being Émile was not as different as all that?
