In an enchanted cottage, a grandfatherly narrator shares with his “granddaughter” the tale of Gregor Samsa, who awakens one morning after a troubled sleep to find himself transformed into an insect. This is the pilot episode of a children’s series that aims to introduce Kafka’s stories to young audiences in an accessible way.
A mysterious disease sweeps through the bird population and practically everything goes to hell. Planes crash, cities burn and the TV stops broadcasting. Hundreds of characters succumb to the, “bird plague”, too fast for everyone to really react.
