Based on the children's book "Rosabella" by Gabriele Rose de Ginant. Rosabella emerges as a natural being "gifted" by each of the Elements. She is happy and dances her way through the seasons enjoying every natural river, lake, mountain, animal, bug, and blade of grass. As she grows older, over the centuries, she notices a lack in her life─perhaps a reason or a path. So she sets out
to find a dream by asking all the beings in all of nature what she should do. Her maturity shows as she settles
down to live in a cottage, and decorates it as she makes a secret wish.
