Enticed by a friendly playmate along the way and driven by an insatiable spirit of adventure Eva discovers a wonderful world of snowy elegance peopled by amazing creatures of this Winter land. Fascinated by the marvels that lie before her Eva suddenly realizes she has been away from home far too long and with remorse, hurriedly begins her return.
