Synopsis
At the end of the world, far from here, there was a peaceful family living on a little farm on top
of a hill. But, at the foot of that hill, the world of frogs was in turmoil: they were absolutely
certain that a new flood was coming to destroy the world. And faced with that revelation,
the frogs decided to do something extraordinary: to communicate this to the humans.
That was how, with some quick thinking, the family was able to transform the barn into an ark,
and pack all the animals into it. The floods came... and at first it seems that the forty days and
forty nights would fly by, but soon the natural enemies amongst the animals start to rub each other
the wrong way, and it will take all of the skills in the world to keep chaos from breaking
out.
