Tony has an extraordinary ability: he glows. However, in a house where a monster spreads bad vibes and darkness, this is no easy gift. To protect him, his parents rarely let him out - which often feels very oppressive. But when Shelly moves in, who creates fantasy worlds with her flashlight, everything changes. Through their friendship, Tony learns to stand his ground against the darkness.

Director Filip Pošivač succeeds in making an enchanting plea for diversity and tolerance in our society. In the world-famous tradition of Czech puppetry and stop-motion animation, he creates a fairy tale that uses handmade puppets and imaginative backdrops to bring a spark of light to young and old alike.
