What Is The Dog, the General, and the Birds About?

The premise of The Dog, the General, and the Birds without spoilers.

Centuries earlier a young Russian general ordered the mass burning of birds to set Moscow ablaze and stop Napoleon’s advance.

When a spirited dog befriends him, the pair resolve to lift the curse by freeing every caged bird across Russia.
