Fantastic Planet - EPIC SUMMER
On a distant world, a human raised by giant blue aliens begins to challenge the order that keeps his species oppressed.
On the planet Ygam, humans live as pets of the giant Draags or are hunted as pests. The young Terr grows up in captivity but gradually gains access to knowledge that changes his view of the world. As tensions between the two species increase, resistance among the human population begins to grow.
Op de planeet Ygam leven mensen als huisdieren van de reusachtige Draags of worden ze opgejaagd als ongedierte. De jonge Terr groeit op in gevangenschap, maar komt gaandeweg in aanraking met kennis die zijn kijk op de wereld verandert. Terwijl de spanningen tussen beide soorten toenemen, groeit het verzet onder de menselijke bevolking.
