While adventuring in the woods, ten-year-olds Bjorn and Petra befriend Peter, a young boy with the talent to revive the deceased to living. Without hesitation, the children repeatedly revive those who were once precious to them - including a mother, a sister, and a turtle. However, as the day passes on, the children quickly realize Peter's magic can only last so long and the children struggle once again to depart with their loved ones.
