The harsh reality of a home for abandoned children blends with episodes of youthful fantasy and slapstick comedy in this story of an orphan girl. Lucy's fondest wish is to find new parents and leave an orphanage. She befriends a man who can create doors from paint. He gives her a stuffed dog that magically comes alive when placed on the ground, and he and his wife end up adopting the little girl. After finding parents of her own, Lucy sets out through fantasy to find parents for her orphan friends. All of the people Lucy meet during her remarkable make believe wanderings end up taking children home.
Petra (Nada Urbánková) has been fired from a toys' factory after manufacturing a pink puppy. She brings the toy with her to the suspended scaffolding where her husband Mikulás (Jan Tríska) is painting a large advertising panel. As she climbs, the scaffolding starts to swing and the onlookers are covered in a mix of paints. At the cinema is showing a film about little Lucy, a girl from an orphanage who is still searching for her mother. And then the film becomes reality.
