A group of students have one week to prepare an environmental project; but what format will it take? Sasha hits upon the idea of creating myths that will pass on an ecological message and as each student comes up with a story, the group acts it out.  Villages terrorised by monsters, households terrified by wild animals and a species that is draining the world of other life – the myths all revolve around the theme of natural balance and fragility.
