Ants gather sugar cubes in an icy marl cave in order to build a palace. This turns out to be a nursery to cultivate larvae. These grubs grow in a cave and reveal themselves as bizarre, marching gluttons called Cricusts. The ant Red-end is different and tries an experiment resulting in one of the Cricusts being different as well. While the other Cricusts eat all the green in a military way and fly to the next forage field, the different one takes it easy in a field of raspberries. The greedy group soon turns all green landscapes into a barren desert with fatal consequences. Except for the raspberry field where Red-end keeps an eye on his big friend finally enabling them to walk together into the future.

A 4K Digital Cinema stopmotion animation by Bethany de Forest and Robin Noorda. Music composed by Phantom Frank.
