When a piano is delivered to the primary school of a remote little village in Sri Lanka, the children have no idea what it is and their impassive headmaster locks it away, warning that there's a ferocious dragon inside. One boy steals the key to the room and the children discover that the headmaster had lied to them. A few days later a new teacher arrives at the school. She shows the kids that the mysterious black box makes music. They also learn that curiosity is not a bad trait and that curiosity is what shapes their dreams. One day, in school, the little blind girl Upuli shares her unseen dream with her friends. (Zlín Film Festival)
