Born in a leafy clearing, the tiny deer must take its first shaky steps into the big world of the forest beyond. As the seasons change, it learns what a deer's life is all about. While hiding in the bracken, the fawn sees impressive stags with huge antlers roar and clash in long battles for sexual supremacy. Unexpectedly, it then wanders on to the beach and takes a dip in the sea.
