Nutria Tales

Lipa has always refused to accept her place as a girl nutria in the rigid society of her burrow. She is fiercely protective of her brother, Suho, a runt who claims to understand the signs the humans have posted along the riverbanks. He believes that their river rat colony is about to be exterminated, but his warning is dismissed by the nutria leaders, who cling to their traditional mythology.

The brother and sister decide to run for their lives. Only a few other outcasts are willing to join them. Embarking on a quest to find a new home, they must swim against the current of the Great Flow, confronting steep cement banks and a barrier long thought to be impassable.

Venturing into the unknown, they encounter strange groups of nutria who have devised their own strategies for survival. Lipa begins to question the old beliefs as she leads the ragtag band of exiles into an uncertain future.

Then, with the help of a new friend, Lipa makes a shocking discovery that exposes the truth behind the nutria's traditions - and means that the price of failing to carve out her own burrow is brutal confinement and certain death for all of her followers. She must risk everything to keep her new burrow alive and free.

Join Lipa, Suho and their adventurous friends on a heroic journey as they embark on an unwitting search for the meaning of life itself, during a time of spiritual crisis.
