A child, armed with a plastic sword, is braving a giant octopus, the mythical kraken. Men and women on little boats go to his help, equiped with makeshift weapons : kitchen knives, hammers, javelins, do-it-yourself bows. In spite of the tentacles assaulting them from everywhere, they are going to conquer.
Between Comics and Renaissance, the fresco-epic is painted on 24 pannels which, parcelled out, are enigmatic and tragic : the whole makes victory.
Because they know they are feeling the same emotions – that is telepathy – their life is no more a mystery, and they act to help a child, and to help themselves.
