Synopsis

Otto the otter feels safest holding hands with his family at night. But come morning, he refuses to let go, clinging to his parents throughout the day. His fear of being alone prevents him from exploring the world around him. One day, his mum shows him a special shell with a pearl inside, reflecting another otter reaching out. Captivated, Otto takes the pearl, realising he's let go of his parents and is floating on his own. This heartwarming tale encourages children to embrace independence and overcome their fears.
