A fast-paced, visually stunning homage to nature about resisting and surviving the conditions of an unforgiving world.
A sudden roar shatters the twilight, leaving a father toad dying on the pavement. With his last strength, he carries his eggs to a nearby pond, where a lone egg hatches into Alyte, an orphaned tadpole. Born a survivor, Alyte must evade predators and navigate the harshness of nature. Along the way, he meets allies who reveal the world’s wonders. From creator Jérémie Moreau, this story explores the brutal yet beautiful realities of life and the power of resistance as survival.
