Synopsis
On an island in the middle of the ocean, Walter the Lamb dreams of one day becoming a cloud. He’s certainly got the fluffiness to achieve his ambition, but it won’t be an easy journey! When his ravenous flock devours the whole island’s natural food supply, things look bleak for Walter. But suddenly, he is swept away in a storm and drenched in water. It’s not all bad though, as wherever he goes now, he brings rain to help the grass grow!
