Yuku is a young mouse who lives with her family in the cellar of a castle. Her grandmother passes on the family values by telling her timeless folk tales. Injured in a tussle with a cat, the old mouse is bedridden and she tells her children that she will have to leave them to follow the little blind mole into the Earth’s tunnels. In one of her grandmother’s storybooks, Yuku learns that the flower of the Himalayas can bring her eternal light. She leaves on a journey of discovery to find the flower.

Are you afraid of the dark? Have you ever thrown a message in a bottle into the sea? Have you ever climbed down into a well in search of your destiny? In its new program, La Chouette du cinéma returns to present three stories (Matilda, Message in a Bottle, and Dame Saison) about children who spread their wings wide!
