Chicken Kiev

It is wintertime. In a completely white scenery a chicken sits and dozes. Suddenly there is a shadow followed by a light flashing on the chicken's body. A small grain falls from heaven. The chicken looks up excitedly, then eats the grain. When more grain comes down the chicken gets up and fervently pecking, follows the long trail of seeds. The spectator now sees an egg upon which the chicken had been sitting. A mosquito wearing a cap and a scarf lands on the unprotected egg and pierces the shell. With a squealing chirp the chick inside bursts upon the scene and sees the light of day. Without the mother in sight, the newborn chick starts staggering around, searching for food and warmth. Because of its lack of experience the chick gets into life-threatening situations, but it narrowly escapes each time. The chick meets an unscrupulous vulture ... makes friends with an exhibitionist snowman ... mistakes a sadistic bear for its mother ... and is preyed upon by a furious shark. As a last resort the chick jumps back into the nest for cover. Like at the beginning with its mother, a shadow followed by the strange flashing light brushes past the chick. With its last strength the chick lifts its head and looks around. New grains are lying scattered all over in the snow. Hungry for food the lucky chick starts pecking and leaves the nest again. A little further on its path is blocked by a large shape. The chick lifts it and continues its gluttonous journey ... The story ends in a very tragic way, when the camera moves back and the audience sees the whole scenery.
