Antón is a boy with a passion for drawing. One day, while drawing a ladybug, something extraordinary happens: the insect comes to life and begins to fly. The ladybug becomes his playmate and, as it flies, it traces shapes in the air that also materialize. Thus, from its flight emerges a sheep which, in turn, comes to life.
