Empty boxes and packaging, a little paint, brushes and a lot of imagination - the result is a whole zoo with Balthazar the Lion. He only has one fault - his mouth is a little too big and now he eats everything that gets in his way. When he doesn't even stop at the moon, the other animals are forced to intervene and the painter gives Balthazar a smaller mouth.
