Paris 1885: Aubry Tourvel a spoiled and stubborn nine-year-old girl comes across a wooden puzzle ball on her walk home from school. She tosses it over the fence only to find it in her satchel that evening. Days later at the family dinner table she starts to succumb to a mysterious illness. When a visit to a doctor only makes her worse she flees to the outskirts of the city where she realises that it is this very act of movement that keeps her alive.
