On the beautiful coast of New Zealand, there are a group of Wagra people. These few aboriginals have always lived a simple and simple life and continue many ancient traditions. There is an ancient legend among the tribe about their origin: more than 1,000 years ago, their ancestor Pike brought his people to New Zealand. Because he rode a whale, he avoided the shipwreck and settled on this beautiful coast. According to this legend, the Huagla people set some family rules: Only men can inherit the position of the chief chief of the family. At the same time, because the whales help them cross the sea, they have a sincere awe of the whales and act like gods.
Corot, the current chief of the Huaguera people, is old, but he is distressed that he can't find an heir. Chief Korot originally had a son, Porulangi, and his wife gave birth to a baby boy. Unfortunately, the boy died and his wife died of dystocia. Only the girl was left. Porulangi was struggling with a double blow. He was devastated, so he gave Xiao Pei to his parents to raise him. He left home alone and also left New Zealand. The girl who stayed is Pei, who is now 11 years old. Pei's grandfather, Chief Ke Luo refused to accept Xiao Pei's inheritance, and even felt that her birth brought misfortune to the tribe. But grandmother Fular doesn't think this is the interruption of blood, only that the child urgently needs the care of relatives.
Little girl Pei is as innocent as other girls of the same age, but the aboriginal life by the sea has also cultivated her stubborn and strong personality. The inheritance of the family also made her very strong, dreaming that one day she could take over the burden of her grandfather and lead the entire Huaguera people. However, his grandfather, Corot, was restricted by a thousand-year-old tradition and insisted on choosing a man as his successor. In any case, he would not agree to his granddaughter's request.
Over time, Corot learned how to love Xiao Pei. When Polurangi became an internationally renowned artist, he returned home again after a 12-year absence. Corot hopes that everything can be solved easily, and his son will gladly accept his fate and inherit his mantle. But Polurangi had no intention to be a chief at all. He had already fared away from his tribe in terms of temperament and spirit. After a big quarrel with his father, he again decided to run away from home, even asking his daughter to go with him. But Xiao Pei believes that he should stay with his grandfather.
Such a strong Pei loves her grandfather deeply. She can only wait for an opportunity to prove to her grandfather and tribe that she is capable of leading the people and being a chief. The chance finally came: a whale that was regarded as a god by the Huagla people ran aground on the beach near where they lived, and the whale struggling by the water was very painful. The Huaguera gathered together to send the whale back to the sea, but they were helpless. At this time, Pei stood up and used his own wisdom to come up with a way, and the whale miraculously understood what she meant, and finally returned to the sea. In the end, Pei rides on the back of the whale and gallops on the sea indulgently like the ancestors of the Huagela people back then. As a result, she became the next chieftain of the Huagela people
