Plot: As the bold ten-year-old Sudanese boy, Maki, summons the courage to escape from the clutches of the evil slave trader, Moreno, he stumbles upon a desperate mother-giraffe and her helpless calf. But, fate has ordained that both Maki and his new four-legged friend, Zarafa, will be taken under the wing of the kind-hearted Bedouin, Hassan, who safely transports them from an occupied by the Turks Alexandria to the palace of King Charles X of France. Maki has sworn to protect Zarafa at all costs; however, can he keep his promise?
Alternative Plot: An escaped Sudanese slave boy (Max Renaudin) befriends a baby giraffe and accompanies it on a perilous journey to the shores of France.
