It is the humorous and instructive tale of four characters who reside in a maze and seek out cheese in order to eat and be happy. Cheese is a metaphor for anything you want in life, such as a fulfilling career, a loving relationship, wealth or material goods, excellent health, or mental peace of spirit. You search in the maze for what you desire, either in the company you work for, your family, or the neighbourhood where you reside. The issue is that the cheese is constantly shifting.
