Summary

A commercial promoting various fabrics from the Prokop a Čáp [Procopius and Stork] Czech company.

Synopsis

Spring is here again; nature awakens and comes back to life. Young birds hatch from a nest in a tree, each having a different pattern of feathers, which correspond to the patterns of their eggshells. The first spring flowers sprout under a tree, also clad in patterns from top to bottom. A fairy - the Spring Queen - joyfully welcomes the season along with all the animals and plants and in the company of sheep. A stork arrives and the sheep let him remove their wool. The stork then carries the wool to a factory where other storks also bring more wool. It appears that the factory produces various kinds of fabrics, each of them having a different pattern.
