A resourceful, barefoot boy and his siblings drift from poverty into a winding, moonlit forest where danger and wonder mingle. When their cruel stepmother drives them into the trees with empty pockets and full fear, the clever child leads with quiet courage, turning misfortune into cunning plans. In a series of trials that blend whimsy and peril, he echoes a vow to safeguard his family, using wit, kindness, and a trail of glinting pebbles and clever tricks. Guided by a gentle, watchful presence, the children navigate treacherous paths, outwit a treacherous foe, and discover resilience, hope, and the power of family ties.
