Synopsis

Deep in a tiny, snow-covered corner of the world lies a kingdom ruled by melancholy King Frilo, who has outlawed noise of any kind. But into this silent dominion comes the mysterious Zantalalia, with a priceless gift for 10-year-old Aurora -- a pearlescent "song spinner," which makes a miraculous noise called "music." Now it will take all the courage Aurora can muster to get past the dreaded Noise Police and confront the King with this magical phenomenon that will change their world forever.
