Plot

On the distant planet Ygam, the advanced blue-skinned Draags view the diminutive Oms—descendants of Earth's humans—as little more than mindless creatures. While some Oms endure a life of servitude, serving as pets for Draag children, others seek refuge in the perilous wilds. However, these hidden survivors face constant danger, as they are ruthlessly hunted down, treated like pests in a cruel game of survival. The stark divide between the technologically superior Draags and the oppressed Oms highlights a poignant struggle for dignity and freedom in a world of stark contrasts.
