A toymaker, a stolen tiger and an unforgettable journey.

WONDER Under orders from the ruler of Mysore, young toymaker Abbas has created a spectacular mechanical tiger, unlike anything the world has ever seen.

LOVE Abbas’s achievement opens up the opportunity of a new life, but most importantly it leads him to Jehane, a determined young woman with ambitions of her own.
