A part of a puppet series "Fireflies". The winter came and the fireflies are falling asleep in their little house. Broucek has a nice dream about spring. They wake up and he asks his father to look out from the window. The father uncovers the windows and Broucek sees the winter for the first time. They fall back in sleep and Broucek has a bad dream about Janinka, in which he faces the death for the first time. The winter tends to fall on them and reserves are getting lower and lower.
