Jovnna is annoyed because he can`t join the drum classes his best friends are attending. Frustrated he goes to his granny's old, abandoned house, and there, drumming out his anger, he suddenly finds an old birch drum. This drum connects him with little Ellen - who disappeared a long time ago, and got caught in the middle of this world and the world of the dead.
The space where Ellen is stuck is dangerous, and Jovnna decides to help her out, albeit he then might lose his new friend. Together they travel with the magic drum into another world to get help from magical animal spirits.
