This is a story about love and dreams. The main character is a boy named Buta, who is luckier than other boys because he's got a wise mentor. This wise mentor sells liquid soap and has a dream to restore the old mill, but always has time to help Buta. Buta dreams of something different - he wants to create a big pattern of stones on top of the mountain so that everything that flies will be able to see and admire it, but the village boys are always in his way. A representative of the soap making company comes to the village to promote his product and falls in love with a local girl named Gyoncha, who dreams of weaving a carpet of her life - only then can she get married. The carpet is woven, the old mentor restores his mill and falls into an eternal sleep, and his soul flies high over the village watching all that happens there. (Zlín Film Festival)
