In the beginning, there was nothing. A blank void in space without time, without depth, without life. Then came... The Whale. This folk musical-comedy follows Willy, a captive killer whale yearning for freedom. Through song, dance, and Shakespearean soliloquy, they chart their destiny while wild whales rally to confront their greatest threat: the humans. With a strong desire for mass destruction, orgies, and good old fashion fun, the wild whales place leadership onto an unlikely messiah.
