‘The Ant Theory’ is a joyful narrative about a little boy, Alexi whose worst fears come alive when he entraps an ant who dared to take a bite from his cookie. However, as soon as his father points out to him that once released, the ant, along with his family, might return to avenge his entrapment, all hell lets loose for the hapless protagonist.
The ensuing result is an innocent, lighthearted story, which is sometimes also sprinkled with moments of tension. Young Alexi moves from one foiled attempt to another to protect himself in the face of imminent danger. What would, at last, be the fate of his nemesis’ revenge as well as that of Alexi himself?
