Part 2/9:
The film opens with Jack’s childhood, where he is engrossed in tales of giants told by his mother before her passing. He learns about the monks who discovered magic beans aimed at bridging heaven and Earth but instead brought forth the fearsome giants from Gantua. These enormous beings plundered and consumed humans until King Eric subdued them with a heart-melting crown, banishing them to their prison amongst the clouds. As Jack grows up, these stories linger in his mind, blending the realms of history and myth.
