Step into the unexpectedly enchanting world of Jenny, a woman of meticulous habits whose tranquil afternoon tea ritual is shattered by a most singular guest: a cockroach.

What begins as a moment of startled repulsion blossoms into a bizarre and captivating bond, as Jenny finds herself confronting not just an insect, but a profound mystery that defies all logic and conventional understanding.
As Jenny navigates the absurdity of her situation, she discovers that Gregor is more than he appears.
