Set on an enchanted island, the story unfolds with the comical mishap of Abbot Mael, who mistakenly baptizes penguins, granting them a unique form of Divine Grace. These penguins, while resembling humans in their governance, also exhibit distinct differences, leading to a satirical exploration of society and morality in the fictional realm of Penguinia. The narrative cleverly intertwines humor with philosophical themes, showcasing the absurdity of human nature through the lens of these baptized creatures.
