Synopsis
Synopsis
On the asteroid Sondak, the young rebel Kirik manages to get hold of Neuronia, a sphere with which Ramakor controls the minds of all the planet’s inhabitants. After freeing the planet and with the sphere in his hands Kirik escapes in a space-ship. The Mekans, frightening robots from Ramakor, chase him. Kirik’s space ship is hit and he has to take refuge on Earth. In order to camouflage himself among the inhabitants Kirik takes on the form of pictures he has seen on television but these images are from a cartoon. So Kirik turns himself into a cartoon chicken and then lands near a farm school in the middle of the mountains where summer camps for children are held. Mikel a ten-year-old boy, who spends his holiday on the farm school, gets hold of the Neuronia by chance and, unaware of the danger of this sphere, he begins using it making Kirik’s already complicated mission even more so.
