A resident of a small studio in a grey high-rise building cannot reach someone who is far away, packs a backpack and sets off on a journey. On his way to the destination, he learns English, and grows into a giant along with the sunset shadows. At night, residents of the village left without power gather around his huge burner and arrange a feast, and in the morning the giant repairs the power line.
