In a small country, there commands a little general who, so that no one gets to be bigger than him, orders everyone to walk on their knees and dress in black or grey clothes. Juan, a boy who closely follows the flight of a dove, is to be the first person to disobey these orders. In this way, he discovers how beautiful and colourful the world is when seen from above, standing on his own two feet. The rest of his colleagues, little by little, begin to follow his example. Unfortunately, the Death Marshall-in-chief, head of the little general’s guard, is soon to discover them and tries to crush the rebellion. However, the people are standing and are walking along the road to freedom.
