Kiko the dolphin has always lived in captivity in a water circus. He manages to escape to see the wonders of the sea. He meets Ripples and his friends, who are very curious and start asking him about the details of the journeys they think he has made. Kiko’s adventures (which are all make-believe, because he is ashamed to have never seen the world) are full of contradictions and mistakes. Icarus doesn’t fail to notice this and goes off to ask the other dolphins about him. When the dolphin finally reveals the truth, Ripples and the others offer to be his sea-guides. In return, Kiko puts up a little circus show with his new friends and at the end the dolphins contacted by Icarus offer the young mammal to join them on future journeys.
