The Story

A faithful and beautifully animated retelling of the myth of Icarus, his father Daedalus, King Minos, and the Minotaur.  

Once upon a time on the island of Crete during the age of King Minos lived a dreamy young boy named Icarus. One day Icarus discovered a mysterious creature that had the body of a man and the head of a bull. Its name? Asterion, also known as the Minotaur. When the King asks Icarus’s father, the famous inventor Daedalus, to work on a secret project, Icarus realises that his new friend might be in danger.
