Set in a distant age, this animated work follows Hermes, a boy burdened with a prophesied destiny as a pivotal hero. The narrative unfolds as he navigates a world steeped in ancient mythology, ultimately tasked with rescuing a princess from the tyrannical rule of King Minos in Crete. The story explores themes of fate versus free will and the weight of expectation on a young individual. The animation style presents a visually distinct interpretation of classical narratives, offering a contemplative exploration of heroism within a rich, historical framework.
