When Baba is arrested by terrifying debt collectors, Julien\'s only hope to save his father is to win the palace contest--to find the elusive Silva Flower.
Julien, a young pauper, has tried his whole life to make something of nothing, alongSide his hardworking Baba.
Frustrated by her father\'s grand but empty gesture, Una decides to take her fate into her own hands.
Then her father announces a special contest: Whoever finds the rare Silva Flower can present it to Una for her twelfth birthday and receive a reward.
She yearns for a different life but is unsure how to make anyone notice her.
Ever since her mother\'s death, Princess Una has suffered through years of loneliness in the royal palace, where girls are treated as an afterthought.
