The film deals with the idea of the birth of a music work and its effect on the listener on two artistic levels: black and white symbolising the world of common everyday reality, and the coloured world of the musician's fantasy. Both levels entwine as the music piece is created, and the film ends with a colourful geyser of a concert.
