In this retelling of the folktale, a spoilt, grief-stricken King refuses to move on with his life after the passing of his vain, beautiful Queen. But when the Boddhisatta turns his curious eye towards the head-scratching Kingdom in abrupt standstill, the Boddhisatta makes the grieving King meet his Queen once again. Although now, she is in her latest form as a dung beetle. Would you love your soulmate if it were a dung-rolling, stink-collecting beetle? But more importantly, would it love you back, human?
