Deep in the mountains of Inner Mongolia, an elder named Gree Shek hunts a mother moose by mistake—and her young calf is left behind. To the hunter's surprise, the little calf follows him back to his campsite, and makes himself at home. Gree Shek names the little calf Xiao Han (“Little Moose”) and the two go on many adventures together. But as his little companion grows bigger, Gree Shek realizes that he can't stay in the human world forever.
