According to an old Finnish legend, the multi-colored shimmer of the northern lights in the sky is carved out by the fluffy tails of... foxes! And not just any foxes, but magical foxes of the Borealis genus, who have lived for a thousand years on Mount Ivari, in the village of Lieske, in the Finnish province of Ostrobothnia. The last of the Borealis foxes broke the ancient tradition and brought upon herself the curse of the god of thunder and lightning Ukko: the angry god deprived her of the ability to light up the dark sky. The sky went dark and the village of Lieske was deserted. A brother and sister, Olli and Titta, the pheasants, decide to bring the fox and the lights back. So how, I wonder, are they going to solve this problem?
