An animated film for children and family audiences based on a simple, wise, and yet funny story by the outstanding Polish philosopher Leszek Kołakowski entitled " Who would like to cheer up an unlucky rhinoceros? ". In his tree nest in the savannah, a wise old Marabou stork tries to calm the young birds as they take their first flight. He decides to tell them why the Rhinoceros sitting under the tree is crying and has a compress on his bottom. It turns out that the Rhinoceros is very worried because he desperately wants to fly, but he can't and is ashamed to admit it. A certain ubiquitous Sparrow decides to teach him how to fly...
