ANT GETS MARRIED

MRÓWKA WYCHODZI ZA MĄŻ

The Ant lives in an anthill which, actually, could be any typical European metropolis – as the Ant could be any typical European, well-educated and ambitious, young woman. She works for a corporation, goes to a beautician, attends yoga classes, watches TV, reads tabloids and is trying to lose some fictitious weight. She dreams of being a successful woman: independent, professionally fulfilled, beautiful and happy. Unwittingly, however, she craves for great love, maybe even kids and a family… Our story begins when the Ant recognises the need and decides to fall in love. Though theoretically easy, it actually appears nearly impossible.
