The story of a young art student who goes to the countryside for a summer internship in watercolor and rents a room in a house by the sea.

At the end of summer, a young man's eye and weather view is brighter and wider. It is a lyrical and tender story of the beginning of young love and the life experience of a fading Estonian generation. Based on Lilli Promet's story "Watercolors of One Summer" (1961).
