Noi lives with his dad and six cats by the sea. With his dad working hard as a fisherman, Noi sometimes feels a bit lonely, so when, one day, he finds a little whale washed up on the beach after a storm, he takes it home to care for it. At first, Noi tries to keep his new friend a secret, but there's only so long you can keep a whale in the bath without your dad finding out... Noi is persuaded that the whale must go back to the sea where it belongs, but their friendship will stay with him forever...
