Two siblings watched by their grandfather sit at the table and struggles to finish their soup. The children don't want to eat, they scoop the soup up reluctantly, looking for a possible way to break free from the table. When the door opens, and the bright light hits the room, the children run out and find themselves in a completely different reality.
