The story
What it's about
In this closed-off world deep underground, a series of absurd and bizarre events unfolds. Each time, the ants feel anger, sadness and confusion, but eventually they always find hope and are left feeling refreshed and liberated (catharsis!). This is a heart-warming story in which the ants live out their ordinary, everyday lives, layer by layer. It is an ‘allegorical comedy’ that projects the loneliness and sense of stagnation found in modern society onto the ants.
