In the middle of the crowd, as if invisible, eight – ten young foreign adults of different ages move. They are guided by a man in a long coat of imitation tiger fur, it is Sherekhan the child trafficker.
While the group moves towards the exit one of the children runs into the tunnels of the station, his name is Muli and he doesn’t want to be forced by threats of violence to steal and beg for Sherekhan.
Muli’s jungle is the huge central train station, with its structures, dark and damp tunnels, inside which moves a humanity with different rules of survival where the law of the strongest is the main asset. In this wild context, Muli manages to help his friends, finding true friends which help him to stop Sherekhan,”

It is represented winged in armor with sword or spear with which defeats the devil, under the guise of a dragon. From East to West.

In Islamic tradition - which in turn derives from Egyptian and Persian mythology - he has taught Prophet Mohammed and represented with a set of scales, a sign that being majestic, head of the angels, it also has the task of weighing the souls before judgment.
