Lost in the middle of nowhere, a quiet little farm lives at the rhythm of its daily routine. One morning, the farmer discovers that a very strange phenomenon is spreading around him, hitting one animal after another. He has to adapt to this new environment full of strange and quirky situations and try to keep things going.

Based on the theme of metamorphosis and change, this short aims to be a well-balanced blend of comedy and poetry set in a simple, pretty little world. Suitable for all ages, it was made for enjoyment, to have fun and maybe think about how we deal with the transformations that happen in our everyday lives.
