In Nina Filipek's adaptation of 'The Ugly Duckling,' a young bird is born in a barnyard and is immediately ostracized by the other animals because of his perceived unattractiveness. Despite being ridiculed and rejected, the duckling remains resilient and kind-hearted. As the seasons change, the duckling matures and undergoes a stunning transformation, emerging as a beautiful swan. The story concludes with the swan finding acceptance and recognition for his true beauty and grace, which had been there all along but had gone unrecognized by those who judged him solely by his appearance.
