In this poetic tale about behavioural misconceptions and the dangers of narrow-mindedness, we join an advanced society made entirely of Ostriches. For as long as anyone can remember, they have always buried their heads, so much so that everything is built around this peculiar activity. Only one person seems to question this behaviour—the inquisitive phylogeneticist, Dr. Kays. But when his research proves too unpalatable for the majority, it is his findings that are ultimately buried.
