Our Home Among the Roots
Watch the previewMisty dawn, hush — pale silver-mint mist, muted blue-green water, soft gold sun shafts through leaves.
The story
A quiet morning. Mist floats above the river, birds call from the distant trees, and sunlight slowly reaches through the leaves. The camera glides over the peaceful mangrove river until it finds an enormous old ficus tree — and a tiny otter nose appears from a hole between its roots.
One pup looks outside. Another pushes past him. Then the little sister, then Mama, and finally Papa. The whole family comes out into the morning: Papa inspects the river, Mama grooms the pups, the brothers chase one another, and the little sister follows Mama everywhere.
Papa leads the family toward the river and the pups race after him. The camera pulls back to reveal the beautiful mangrove. This is their home.
“Deep inside a quiet mangrove forest, beside a wide and peaceful river, lived a little family of five otters.”
