A film miniature set to classical music. The theme of the musical piece serves as a pretext for an allegorical tale about the conception of life and human maturation. A colorful butterfly flies out of the pupil of an eye and merges with a man's face. Another butterfly lands on an orchid flower, merges with it, and then turns out to be a woman's face. The butterfly-shaped faces merge with each other. After a moment, the camera follows a tiny seed rushing deep into matter. The seed grows dynamically and transforms into a human embryo. From this moment on, the images on the blocks – puzzles – change very quickly: they show life from the birth of a child, through taking its first steps and discovering the world, to reaching full maturity.
