Synopsis
Inja, an eight-year-old girl, is bullied by her friend at school and sadly returns home while it is pouring with rain. But an incredible adventure awaits her on the way there. In the middle of the city, on board his huge sailing ship, the legendary explorer Marco Polo suddenly appears. He brings a special gift for Inja — a magnificent Asian tiger that he discovered on one of his journeys. This mysterious companion soon becomes her faithful ally. As reality and fantasy intertwine, Inja discovers that the world around her is much more magical than she ever imagined.
