Synopsis


The Water People dwell in a small country, surrounded by a dyke. They lie partly submerged in water, for instead of keeping it out, the dyke keeps the water in. The Water People like it that way. Their peaceful existence is threatened by the devious scheming of their King, who hates water and tries to sell out. The characters and situations in this animated tale are the products of the director’s imagination, but any resemblance to legendary characters and events is not entirely coincidental.
