A little Penguin is visited by his friend Whale every year, until one day the Penguin has almost nowhere to go: the Glaciers have melted due to the extreme global warming that increases every year. The Whale begins its journey in search of a glacier where his friend Penguin can live, but day after day, the heat prevents him from arriving in time with the solution. Perhaps, by working as a team with other animals, he can achieve his mission.
