The video is about arrogant human beings who ruin the nature in their own interest.

Firstly, he has stepped on a ladybug on purpose showing his lack of empathy. After that he has turned a pair of snakes into his boots, ready to catch a chicken in order to grow it forcely to have more meat. A lamb has been slaughtered and the man has taken the wool from its mom. After he has shot some birds he murdered a white seal for its fur. Elephants have been killed just for their tusks used for piano tiles. As the "ruler" of the sea the man has thrown radioactive debris in water and he has overfished in the same waters. He has intoxicated a whale whose body has been thrown on the shore. The men's next victims have been two bears,the mother and the cub. The man has killed the mother and has taken its head as a trophy while the cub has taken to the circus.The man has turned the forests into heaps of papers by magic. Cities have been built, meat production has grown day after day until mountains of garbage surrounded the city.

The ''king'' of garbage has been attacked by aliens and squished as a door mat.
