The Story
The story of a Boy Explorer who escapes into a world of adventure.
A boy - 8 years old and 15ft high - goes on a wild hunt in pursuit of Pablo Picasso whom he meets in the form of a mighty minotaur. The boy’s adventure sees him encounter a wolf and her nymph warriors; avoid the snarling beaks of large shadowy crows and become distracted by a delicate and beautiful butterfly who leads him into mischief.
