Auf einem winzigen Planeten, gefangen in ihrem privaten Universum, vollführen die Bewohner ihre poetisch-surrealen Handlungen, die sich fortwährend im Kreis drehen. Dass sie Teil eines komplexen kleinen Ökosystems sind, das nur funktionieren kann, wenn jeder seine Rolle ausführt, ist ihnen nicht bewusst.
On a small planet, caught up in their own little private universe, the inhabitants perform their poetically surreal actions, which repeat themselves in an endless loop. That they are all part of a complex little ecosystem which can only function if each of them plays his or her role, is something they are unaware of.
