In the enchanting world of Zawa + The Belly of the Beast, we meet Zawa, an ancient guardian spirit trapped inside a mountain. But this mountain is far from idyllic—it’s a polluted, industrial wasteland filled with factories spewing toxic waste. Zawa’s only source of nourishment is the industrial runoff that seeps into her home, resulting in a bitter existence fueled by paranoia and destruction.
But everything changes when Bandit and Thatcher—siblings from a nearby village—enter the scene. They help Zawa escape her mountain prison and quickly discover that the way to Zawa’s heart is through a well-fed stomach. Together, they share friendship, adventure, and home-cooked meals as they strive to restore the balance between humanity and nature.
