In a city in winter, a bear wanders in the night. While roaming, the bear meets misfits, people who lives in the streets. He dreams of ancient times when forests reigned instead of cities.
A subtle picture book about homeless people. On the edge of magical realism, this dreamlike story puts forward its unexpected characters.
