Synopsis

Laura is traveling to China with her family because her mother is participating in an important concert on her cello with Chinese musicians for the Chinese New Year. Her flying star flies with them, but crashes and is found by a Chinese girl named Ling-Ling. She eventually finds Laura because her aunt is also performing at the concert.

The Star then brings a Dragon costume, Nain, to life, and they have fun. However, the dragon is being pursued by a dark, demonic, cloud-shaped force, which, according to an old Chinese legend, wants to prevent spring from ever coming again. The girls attempt to stop the cloud from taking over the dragon.
