Ronja, the fearless daughter of a robber chieftain, loves nothing more than roaming the deep, mysterious forest, though she must always beware of the grey dwarves and wild harpies that lurk within. When she unexpectedly befriends Birk, the son of her father's greatest enemy, chaos erupts between their feuding families. Forced apart, Ronja and Birk make a drastic choice: to run away together.
