On a playful journey through public space with one of the most versatile Czech artists, František Skála, it is possible to see the world differently. With humor, seriousness, and self-irony, the visual artist, performer, and musician exceptionally allows us to glimpse into many metaphorical doors behind which lies beauty in imperfection, poetry in the ordinary, handprints in the flow of time, and joy in creation as a way of life. Skála's creative energy is also felt in the process of creating the monumental sculpture of the dog Vulpes Gott, from the model's creation to the boat journey down the Elbe to the opening in Dresden. The narrative intertwines the artist's diaries and objects in public space, including his first sculpture in the Veltrusy castle park, Prastánek, or the Paradise Garden at Slunákov. Friends of František Skála, the band Třaskavá směs, the brass band Provodovjané, and philosopher Miroslav Petříček appear in the film. Skála's Renaissance personality is also known from Divadlo Sklep, the group Tvrdohlaví, the collective Tros Ske tos, or M.T.O. Universal.
