Ivan is trapped inside a snow globe by a witch, bound to a life of isolation. All his life, he has never felt loved and never believes it could change. Then one day, the witch traps a wizard in the same fate. The wizard, unlike Ivan, is bitter and resentful. Instead of offering the boy companionship, the wizard turns abusive, lashing out at the boy for his helplessness. Ivan endures him, driven by a desperate desire for attention from the only person in his world.
