This Orwellian tale for children explores what would happen if chickens seized the means of productions and treated themselves to a luxurious day at the beach. The answer? A proletarian revolution, of
course.

Chickens of the fair town of Eggmont are in burn-out: they're working way too much and just for peanuts (literally...). The eggs they lay are not as tasty as they used to be, and the only thing on their mind is getting a year (actually, a day would be enough) of rest and relaxation.
And so off they go to the beach, and when they get back they're as good as new. Maybe even too good: it's high time that those roosters in charge learn that they can't exploit their chicks like that, it's revolution time! And so between poo bombs and grenades of hard-boiled eggs, the chicks manage to reclaim their work-life balance and kick out those greedy roosters, turning the town of Eggmont into a socialist utopia.
A funny tale against turbocapitalism that will leave you chuckling, and will make children reflect on pressing issues such as exploitation and inequality, and teach them to stand up for their rights.
