Synopsis
The animals have accepted Noah's invitation to accomplish the divine design: to board the ark that the noble old man has built to survive the great flood. It's just that living together does not seem to come easy for the passengers on board. While the predators plan to eat the herbivorous, good old Noah keeps failing on heading the boat – perhaps due to his short-sightedness or could be because he's always lived in the desert - but mainly because of all the fighting and lack of solidarity among his family members: his three sons and wives.
From up in the sky, God will watch over the development of the events accompanied by his loyal assistant and scribe Angel, who takes notes for the work of literature destined to become the major Best-Seller of all times.
