In a post-eco-disaster 2144, a young girl (Viva Lee’s Sumi) lives as a polar bear cub in the snow. She crawls around with her “mother,” growling under the stars until a distant sound is heard, opening this world up wider. Sumi travels over the hill to discover a group of Morad hunters wielding machinery to cut down trees and brutalize whatever creatures might cross their path. When one inevitably sees Sumi in the distance, she screams to rally her ragtag clan and give chase. Most ferally run in pursuit. One (Kara Wooten) rises with patience and strength. Donning a metal stag helmet with horns, she clocks Sumi in the face to render her unconscious rather than dead. Locked in a cage, the girl’s adventure begins.
