The Cakes of Prince Tan

Presentation

King Thieu is quite worried: New Year celebrations are approaching and the ancestors are angry.

There is only one thing to do: send all his sons out into the world in search of an incredible gift that will appease their anger. Prince Tan, the youngest and least loved son, secretly sets out to find this extraordinary object. From continent to continent, from Africa to Europe, accompanied by an unbearable little gingerbread boy, Prince Tan meets the Three Gluttons, Hansel and Gretel, Mother Mousse and the girls from her baking class, but still cannot find what he is looking for. He will have to listen to the advice of the Rice Genie and look around him. His imagination will do the rest. Then the ancestors will be appeased, King Thieu will smile again, and the New Year celebrations can begin!
