Soley is a little girl who is different from everyone in her tribe. Unlike the others, she has golden hair, shining like the sun. One day, Soley and her family goes to a new marketplace. She makes new friends there. But when they ask her “why do you have golden hair?”, she feels different and sad. 

As Soley cries under a flame tree, she falls asleep and finds herself in the Dreamland. There, she meets the Mother Sun who has been waiting for Soley.
