Benjamin's training to be a harpoonist and he knows, any day now, all he's learned could be put to the test.

...We are all very nervous before going out to whaling, but if we don't go, there is no food...

...Whales! Whales...

...Whales! Whales...

The whole village springs into action.

It's a race against time to get out to sea.

Benjamin and the rest of the crew are about to take on the biggest predator that's ever lived.
