The world unfolds once more through the eyes of a small, enigmatic creature known as the Little Polar Bear. This series explores the interconnected lives within a vibrant, yet subtly melancholic, community.

Through gentle observation, the anime portrays themes of belonging, memory, and the subtle beauty found in everyday moments.
