Socri is a lovely sheepdog who loves his job and is loyal to his master. One day, the master decides to sell off the flock to a multinational, and Socri is left unemployed. He has a personal crisis and ventures out into the woods in search of Coach, following a little bird’s directions.
Along the way, Socri meets a lion called King, who is also going through a personal crisis, as he no longer has complete control of the woods. King joins Socri in his quest and after a few days they meet a snake named Konfi. At first, King is suspicious of the snake, who carries with him bitter feelings about the past, but after the three of them make an effort to trust one another, they continue on their journey peacefully. They will also meet a mole, who is a bit lazy but guides them to Coach’s lair. Coach, they discover, is a patient owl.
The owl acts as a true coach, and makes the four friends see their weaknesses and obstacles, and ways to overcome them. Socri has to find new meaning to his life; King must learn to be more humble and trust others; and the mole needs to take control of his life. Once Coach rounds up his personalised lessons in the form of metaphors, he disappears into the woods knowing the four animals have regained control of their lives.
