Description
A tyrannical pirate and his first mate attempt to conquer a remote island, driven by a bizarre hatred for the letter O. Their reign of linguistic terror forces the islanders to adapt to a world without the vowel, transforming words and concepts into nonsensical echoes. This zany fairy tale chronicles the islanders' struggle to reclaim their language and their freedom from the absurd oppression.
