The human soul is like a butterfly, fragile and vulnerable.
His stubborn attraction to dreams, like a butterfly to light, can burn its wings.
The hero of the film is alone. People do not consider him their equal because he is not like the others. Pavel is deaf and mute from birth. The young man lives in the countryside in an old house on the banks of a picturesque river. But his world, his soul are like a lonely island. His need for love and friendship turns into misfortune for him. Only the bright memories of his mother and her dream of one day returning to his native country arouse in Pavel the hope of being happy. This is the story of love and disappointment, friendship and betrayal.
