A miniature film set to classical music. A cart drives down a gray city street. Behind the houses, instead of the sun, a spinning wheel emerges, from which a broken thread falls into a nearby puddle. A little girl runs down the street. Suddenly, she stumbles and falls into the puddle. Tears from the animated houses fall into the puddle. The drops of tears "revive" the thread, which transforms into a fairy-tale skein and weaves a new dress for the girl. A spinner with a spinning wheel appears and weaves colorful strands around everything. Flowers bloom in the windows of the houses, and the gray walls are covered with vivid colors. The girl, carried by the skein, soars above the houses of what is now a colorful town.

Etam, a young man from a small town in Lailonia, plucks pears from a neighbor's tree for his friend Nita. He is branded with a red patch on his pants for the theft. It soon turns out that the patch is contagious. Red patches appear on the pants of all Etam's friends. The patches get bigger and the boys wear a big red patch instead of pants. So they decide to pretend that they have red pants. When they come to school, however, the Teacher sees red patches instead of pants. He tells them to return to school only when they have pants. The boys, on Nita's advice, make holes in the patches and sew the real colored patches onto them. To the boys' surprise, the Teacher at school accepts the patched pants.

Jan 1984
The film is narrative-free. Both the sound effects and the images, accompanied by multilingual subtitles and changing like a kaleidoscope, evoke in the viewer's imagination a shooting range where the targets resemble human silhouettes. Lively folk melodies juxtaposed with the sounds of gunshots create a contrast and become a means of expression. The shooters' skills lead to the elimination of their opponents. The funfair comes to an end, traces are covered up, and the ground is leveled. From under layers of accumulated earth (history), the previously seen targets emerge to the surface. They take on the shape of human silhouettes and come to life with color. This image is accompanied by a musical memento—a wail full of regret. Both the image and the music that accompanies the film contain many symbols, so any attempt at an unambiguous interpretation would be a simplification of its reception.
