Description:

The story of how an earthworm discovered the outside world.

The idea for the film came from Agamurad Amanov, who was also the art director. He was also the voice actor for the worms and the narrator at the end, speaking in the Turkmen language. However, he could not be credited (except as a "very special thanks") because he had no registration in Moscow, so could not legally work in the city.

The translation of the narration at the end, according to the director, is: "That's how the worms lived and lived... and didn't know, didn't think, that something like this would happen to them in life. That's how it is. Such things happen sometimes." (Вот так червяки жили, жили... и не знали, не думали что в жизни с ними такое случится. Вот такие дела. Такие вот штуки иногда происходят.)
