“Siberian Mouse” is a poetic, visually‑rich meditation on resilience, identity, and the fragile bond between humanity and the wild. Set against the stark, snow‑blanketed expanses of the Siberian taiga, the story follows , a teenage girl who discovers a tiny, injured mouse trapped in an ancient pine. The mouse, named Kara , becomes her unlikely companion, leading Mira on a night‑long journey to the hidden “Glowing Meadow,” a mythic place whispered about in her grandmother’s folk tales.
