Cristóbal Molón
SYNOPSIS
It is 1512 by the insect calendar and something in the insect world is changing. Right now the Meadow Kingdom is not exactly enjoying its best moment: The country had reached its peak under King Finch the First, but after his death Finch's son, Finch II, inherited the throne. The problem is that father and son shared little more than a name. Finch II is a gutless ruler with a weak character, who allows himself to be pushed around by Destruzzio, the regime's strong man. The spineless monarch soon discovers that there is no limit to Destruzzio's ambition. As part of a diabolic plan, obviously coloured by his own selfish interests, Destruzzio proposes sponsoring a trip to the Moon to carve the face of his king on its surface. And to make sure everything goes smoothly, he sends supposed explorer, Christopher Coolumbus, to head the expedition, accompanied by the beautiful (and savage) Carabix. The two of them embark on the adventure of their lives and end up uncovering a secret they could never have imagined.
