A lyrical, humourous story mocking one of the most typical human frailties - a soft spot for the bottle and its contents. A man on a walk enjoys the smell and beauty of a rose. Suddenly he spots a big bottle and the taste of its contents lures him into a drunken orgy. After it has passed the man returns to the harmless and uplifting joy of the flower's fragile beauty.
