Synopsis
The story follows Vinaya, a nine-year-old boy who lives off his vivid imagination. His only companions are his beloved horse, Victor, and his grandmother.

When his grandmother passes away, Vinaya is left completely alone. He decides to embark on a journey across the world to find Sensei. Along the way, he teams up with a rough, nomadic drifter. This adventurous quest ultimately transforms into a universal tale of initiation into adulthood.
