The giant and the knight knew each other as children,
one only three metres tall, the other with blond curls.

Each lived in his own beautiful city,
but they met in the evening at the halfway point.

 

A rhyming tale that has the flavour of a classic fairy tale and the strength of that youth aware of being in the right.

The story of a deep friendship capable of overcoming wars and time.
