Kiko bullies animals. He can't stop torturing them, even the tiniest mouse can't escape! How can he be made to understand that they are just like him, capable of feeling emotions, of loving, and that they deserve respect? Then the day comes when he needs the animals' help. How will they react? Will they come to his aid?
