"The Essay" is the story of a boy in primary school that faces some obstacles when asked to write an essay by his teacher. Ulterior experiences and funny revelations that are mixed in bitterness, drown the boy in a childish but big and coherent bliss. Teacher's ugly tie, sparrows that always fly over Sarah's head and a hen that gives out paper all play roles in writing this essay. Even though this story is real, the hen talks in it and asks the king's permission for giving birth to a beautiful girl, grasshoppers count themselves effective in extension of science. Sometimes the most ridiculous things can put you in the most serious situation.
