✦ Synopsis

1819. Iax Agolasky, a young assistant to a notable French explorer, sets off on a journey to the Russian wilderness.
They soon discover a group of creatures living in a cave: children with animal traits. But are they animals, or are they human? Faced with questions of faith, science and the fundamentals of truth, tensions rise in the camp. Soon the children's safety becomes threatened and Agolasky needs to act.
The novel is based on the photo series and synopsis by Pekka Nikrus.
