action

The hand of God places the naked man Adam on a globe. Adam builds a pillow and pulls a blanket over himself and falls asleep, but the hand hits the globe and Adam jumps up. The hand pushes a bundle into Adam's hand and instructs him to set off, but after a while Adam always comes back to the point of origin. He begins to form small lumps from the earth and toss them. You circle the small earth once and finally land on it.

Adam is depressed and sits down on a small hill. Suddenly the hand reaches into the earth and begins to form a partner for Adam. He is excited, forms a little bow tie and organizes a bouquet of flowers. The hand is ready and places his new companion next to Adam - a penguin. Adam and the penguin are a bit at a loss, finally shake hands and fins and in the end they embrace.
