A Prussian general instructs his soldiers how to get rid of the storks bringing new lives. He turns the conscripts into cannon fodder, and he can't deal with one fly himself.
A modest tailor sews a cape in his basement. He would like to use it to fly. Modern machines change other people. The tailor remains the same, old-fashioned person. Persecuted, he escapes on the sewing machine and rises into the air. He flies among the zodiacal constellations. Earthly pursuers follow him and shake hands with him. However, this is just another dream of a modern Icarus.
A short animation inspired by the Stanisław Lem short story about Trurl from "The Cyberiad".
