What Is The Old Crocodile About?

The premise of The Old Crocodile without spoilers.

Suffering from acute rheumatism, an elderly Nile crocodile can no longer hunt or care for itself. Driven by hunger, he commits a desperate act of cannibalism that brands him an outcast. Banished to the open sea, he encounters a twelve‑legged octopus and forms an unlikely bond, raising the question of whether the old predator can truly change.
