This film is about public space. This film is about the destruction of culture. This film is about fountains that have had enough. In this film, the fountains come to life, they become living beings, each one has its own character and tells a different story. They speak out so that people notice them, perceive them, take care of them. Their rebellion culminates in a protest. What would happen if fountains could talk?

In a spa surrounded by mountains of salt, guests relax and sunbathe, while workers collect the glittering crystals under the sun. Children run off, escaping the watchful eyes of adults, and a woman drifts through this landscape in a haze, detached from reality. As night falls, the space transforms, shaped by the desires of those who pass through.

The life of almost 100-year-old Mrs. Miko unfolds like a collage, while her neighbour reflects on getting older. Animation and archive material bring back memories - as well as the mysterious disappearance of a mink coat.
