In a dark forest, runaway teenage Arthur is heartbroken over the death of his dog and enraged at his parents’ attempt to rationalise it. Close by, a young bear cub struggles to comprehend a terrible loss of its own. Amidst the trees, the two must come to terms with their shifting sense of self, and a harrowing decision must be made as Arthur’s mothers get closer to finding them.
