Henry grows up surrounded by the colors and fabrics of his father's sewing attic; his father is a tailor. When they move to a gray village to open a shop, the vibrant creations are replaced by dull clothing. Years later, Henry longs for the inspiration of his youth. A visit from a troupe of street performers rekindles his dream: to transform the village into a place full of color and expression, where everyone can be themselves. After many setbacks, he faces a choice between personal happiness or continued commitment to change.
