A hilarious re-imagining of the classic comedy by Aristophanes. When Pithetaerus and Eulpides, two hucksters from Athens, attempt to escape the cares of the modern world, they prevail upon Epops, king of the Birds, to create a bird utopia. Their plan: build a wall between Olympus and Earth to starve the gods of their precious sacrificial smoke. What follows is a ridiculous power struggle between the old gods of Olympus and the squawking denizens of the clouds.
