In a German principality, during the autumn hunt and fair, a fire and escaped wild animals disrupt the peaceful course of life. The fates of a young princess, Honorio, and a family of traveling animal trainers intertwine around the ruins of an old castle. The flute melody and song of a boy standing before a lion reveal the soothing power of courage, compassion, and art, showing that even ferocity can yield to care.
