An egg named Eric, needed a warm nest and a caring mother in order to hatch. After the farmer's dog took his mother away, his dream of becoming a great rooster felt impossible to reach.
On an adventure, Eric travels through farms and meadows. Along the way, he comes across some very odd substitute mothers. If he is to break free of his shell, he must do it soon. In the end, he finds courage and sets out on his own to hatch. In the end, he becomes what he was destine to be.
