Project Description

In a faraway land amid the icy northern waters, a little sea otter named Sedna spends her days playing, fishing, diving with her fellow otters, and savouring the sorbets of Kuak, an ice cream seller who is super-sensitive to the cold.

Sedna is fully adapted to her environment, and has everything she needs to live the contented life of a happy little sea otter. But Sedna dreams of travelling to distant places… And on this day, like every year, she is on the lookout for Toklo, a mercurial and wily cormorant due back from his long southward migration. Sedna is eager to hear this intrepid adventurer’s eye-popping stories. And once again, Toklo thrills the little sea otter with his tales of flying over rivers and lakes, crossing oceans and grappling with hostile weather. And so Sedna makes a decision: she too will go travelling! But poor Sedna comes up against Toklo’s kindly but slightly condescending scepticism. Hers species is sedentary, so going on journeys is not for her. Adventure is for adventurers.

But that night, thanks to H2O, Sedna will go on an extraordinary journey to discover the water cycle on Earth. Then, buoyed by a fresh self-confidence and her newly gained knowledge, she persuades Toklo to accompany her the following night. Together with H2O, our two heroes embark on an even longer and more amazing journey.
