Synopsis

Kino is a 15-year-old drifter who travels alongside Hermes, a sentient motorcycle, exploring countless countries with no real destination in mind. They just go wherever the road takes them, embracing the uncertainty that comes with it. During their travels, they witness all sorts of customs and ways of life—some uplifting, some troubling, some just plain strange. They meet people driven by work, others dedicated to helping those around them, and plenty chasing their own dreams. No matter where they end up, there's always something to learn from how people actually live. But here's the thing: Kino and Hermes don't judge. They're observers, nothing more. They don't try to fix what they see or push their own ideas onto anyone, even when the local values seem completely absurd. That's because they've come to accept things as they are—with all their flaws and contradictions. Their philosophy is simple: the world isn't beautiful, but that's exactly why it's worth experiencing.
