Plot
Kaskae leads his family of polar bears across the Arctic Circle to give a speech to other polar bears. Peepis, the troublemaker in the family, is given the task of looking after his little sister Kaia along with his elder brother Poopas. Hearing part of Kaskae's speech about reaching new heights, Peepis rushes to the peak of the tundra with Poopas trailing him. As soon as both brothers reach the top, Peepis shoves Poopas before they both slide down and crash their father's speech. The family then discovers an unattended Kaia dancing with a flock of puffins. The other polar bears are not amused by the scene, as their kind are not supposed to socialize with the puffins, but Peepis jumps in the water to join in the fun. Kaskae then orders everyone to be silent before he and the rest of the family jump in to play in the water.
