Synopsis
Two princes are separated at birth after a bungled kidnapping attempt. Wat, the hero of our story, is left in the woods by the kidnapper and is raised in the wild by a pig. Flash years forward, and we see side-by-side comparisons of the twins' lives: the comfort and excess of the King, contrasted with the idyllic simplicity of Wat's life with his pig on a feudal fief.
