Adaptación de Gracia Querejeta do clásico da literatura A revolta dos animais do escritor británico George Orwell. Esta novela satírica, publicada orixinariamente en 1945, é unha representación alegórica da Revolución Rusa de 1917 e a posterior Unión Soviética. Na historia, os animais da granxa derrocan os seus opresores humanos para establecer unha sociedade de igualdade e xustiza. Porén, os seus obxectivos son corrompidos polos cochos, que asumen roles de liderado e vólvense tiránicos, o que ilustra os perigos do poder absoluto e a traizón das ideas revolucionarias.
