Synopsis
Aesop–now a mere shadow of himself–wanders the world looking to see if his stories have made an impact over the centuries. When he takes refuge in an abandoned theater during a thunderstorm, he encounters George the ghost and his echoes, all that remain of the building's past performances. As the ghost and the storyteller square off, stories fly back and forth: Aesop's tales come thoughtfully with just a touch of silly, and George delivers his side of the argument with all the razzmatazz of show
