Xi'an, China. 2045. A Kazakhstani writer sits down at his desk and begins to type. Beneath his fingers, the story of a young girl unfolds: she holds a mysterious key, inherited from her grandfather. As the key turns, and the world changes, the lives of the writer and his character must intersect, or fade from memory forever.

The aim of Stories from the Hearth is to rekindle its listeners' love for the ancient art of storytelling (and story-listening), and to bring some small escapism to the frantic energies of the modern world.
