The twin children of Bambi the leader and Falina the beautiful stag, Geno and Gurrie, are surrounded by parental love and care. Falina instructs the little ones and introduces them to the wisdom of forest life. Bambi is always there to protect and support the reindeer.

Geno is thoughtful and cautious. Little Gurry is very light-hearted and careless, so she often gets into dangerous situations. One day she becomes a prisoner of the Man, whom the forest dwellers call «Him.» Bambi does not leave her daughter behind, coming to the enclosure every night to teach Gourry to jump the high fence.

Geno almost becomes a victim of the huge wolfhound. Once again, Bambi comes to the heir’s rescue. The fawns grow up, changing their attitude to the world around them, to their close relatives, and to those they thought were enemies.

Convinced that the children can cope with any difficulties, Falina lets them go on their own.
