A modern retelling of the ancient myth Manu and the Fish
Mia is a young refugee girl who along with her sister is washed up onto the shores of the UK.
Against the backdrop of a freak winter heatwave, as the climate emergency becomes critical, one day Mia happens upon and nurtures a talking fish, that she names, Samaki.
As well as becoming Mia’s friend and confidante, Samaki quickly grows and becomes a giant fish, larger than any marine animal the world has ever known and key to her and her friends’ survival in the face of the imminent extinction of humanity.
