It's a Christmas tale only a man called Kinky could
tell. King Jonjo Mayo the First is in a
bind. Every Christmas, he commissions an artist to paint a
traditional nativity scene to be dramatically revealed after
midnight mass. This year, though, the date is mere weeks
away, and he still has not yet found his painter. The king
decides to take a chance on a peculiar, mute boy whose
artistic genius and clairvoyance are rumored throughout the
kingdom. He sends three valiant, if begrudging, knights to
seek out the boy in the remote countryside. Finally, they
find Benjamin -- and he is, indeed, peculiar. Nobody knows
if the child is up to the task, but the king's Christmas
tradition -- and Benjamin himself -- might just be saved by
a Christmas miracle that comes in the form of a very special
pig -- who is rather peculiar herself.
