This little maritime epic of real-time light drawings, manipulated objects and songs, tells the story of Sari, a four year old girl who, tired of waiting for her parents to wake up, decides to go alone to the beach. There she finds Azur, but is promptly swallowed by a wave that casts her adrift on the sea, right into the gaping maw of a whale. Inside, solitude reigns, despite the strange critters that live among the large teeth and an old man counting how many fish the sea has. It is then that ingenious Azur, draining water from the Ocean into a big hole, manages to free her. But what will now happen to the whale and those fish, left without a single drop of water in which to swim?
