On a secluded island, in a faraway sea, the animals live in peace and prosperity.

But one day, the winds of fate bring humans to their shore.

Down come trees and up go houses, farms, and a bustling market.

The humans capture the animals and put them to work.

A great sadness falls upon the land, and only a young boy named Adam can hear the animals' cries.

Compelled to act, Adam escapes into the jungle and joins with the remaining free animals, attempting to summon the Spirit King Bersaf.

Will the king bring the humans to trial for their harmful actions?

Will justice be had? Will balance return to land, sea, and sky? This multicultural environmental tale is inspired by a 1,000 year old animal fable from 10th century Muslim Iraq, which was originally translated by a Jewish rabbi at the command of a Christian king in the 14th century.
