However, he started wearing them and suddenly everything seemed a lot bigger than reality.

Tayeb starts noticing the ants as they were being squashed by people’s feet, being run over by their cars and being completely ignored by people. So he decides to look for solutions to defend the ants’ right to a safe and peaceful life. He runs a lot of interesting experiments until he and some of his friends find the ultimate and practical way to save the ants’ lives by everyone’s cooperation.
