Synopsis

This silhouette animated film tells a story drawn from the Brothers Grimm. Four aging animals – a donkey, a dog, a rooster, and a cat – are rejected by their ungrateful owners and forced to make their way on the streets. Together, the animals drive a group of robbers out of their hut and live out the rest of their lives in peace.
