THE LEGEND OF AKAM

Akam is a caiman. He crosses the Great Kingdom in search of Zoa, a princess he has fallen in love with. In the Invisible Kingdom, the love they share is curtailed by the birth of little-ones. In her eyes he no longer counts, and he wishes to devour them but changes his mind when he learns that they are his own children. He banishes himself to spare Zoa and encounters some creatures who teach him of the existence and the virtues of family, and that everything happens for a reason. The little-ones are surrounded by all their enemies, but just as they are about to be devoured, Akam returns to save them.
