THE QUEEN OF FROGS CANNOT WET HER FEET

About

“Once upon a time there was a lake, and in this lake there were frogs. Frogs who spent their days doing frog things: jumped and caught flies, took naps or played with dragonflies “, at the end of the day, animals like us sharing the fragility of routines. But the security offered by the repetition reveals itself always weak when broken by the unexpected, the minimum variation of the natural course of things. Just like it will happens to these frogs and their world, when something from heaven, PLOC, falls into the lake where they live and the necessary ingredients come together so we can watch a game of cause and consequence, a series of unpredictable events, where both characters and readers are far from imagining the end of this story.
