Synopsis
Fed up with a world of insurance salesmen and petty problems, two miscreants flee to the kingdom of the birds for a simpler life.
While living there, the two scheme up a financial jackpot that could turn the birds‘ land into a powerful utopia.
Their only obstacle: the wrath of the gods.
A hilarious and satirical look at politics, religion, and the foolishness of mankind that revives and revamps Aristophanes‘ classic comedy.
