The ancient village of Mận is composed of thirty-six stacked floors, each floor of which has houses, squares, streets … This village is inhabited by civilized human ants who share a peaceful life all year round. From this romantic space, as in the fairy tales of this village, a primitive love was born, embarrassing, trembling between a sawyer and a girl from the team of masons.
The war broke out. With the other villages, the village Mận must fight against the invasion of the head-leopard ants. War spread throughout the country. And this little love palpitates in the bitter struggle. Tran Dan wrote this love story with a passion and beautiful language.
