The introverted outcast boy Rob becomes close to a new classmate - the hot-tempered rebel Sistine. He decides to tell her about his incredible secret - about a real tiger in a cage hidden in the forest. A touching story about friendship, overcoming grief and inner freedom based on the book by renowned children's author Kate DiCamillo. Together with young actors, Queen Latifah, Dennis Quaid and Sam Trammell starred in the film.

Little Rob, following the example of his father, is used to hiding his emotions. Both of them recently experienced a tragic loss, but they prefer not to talk about it even with each other. The hasty move was for them an attempt to escape from the past. However, Rob is not very good at this: he withdraws into himself and causes ridicule from his classmates. The only exception is the girl Sistina. She also has no friends, but she knows how to fend for herself. And even goes too far, not hiding his hostility and anger at the whole world. Rob feels the same wounded and lonely soul in her. Finally, he confides his secret to Sistine: he has a live tiger in a cage hidden in his forest. Should the animal be released? Opinions differ...
