Mashka and Mishka are siblings who can only see each other in the reflection of a mirror but can never see themselves in the mirror. One day they wake up in a mystical land with a singing sun near a skyscraper city of flowers, the Floreton. With the city's ruler, Tiny Royal de Vasil, they must save the magical land from Hue Burglar, who steals the colors in the night. In the process, they find secrets about the enchanted realm as well as about themselves. Their adventures include flying over a biting forest, escaping creeping shadows in a cabin on animal legs, meeting a golden phoenix-like creature, and so much more. Mashka and Mishka undertake an uneasy journey to come back home, and most importantly, to find their own identity.
