Sympathetic Josef is a successful master violin maker. He is happy that the instruments he makes bring joy to people all over the world. He likes to spend his time in his workshop in the courtyard of the pavilion house. He has never even been to the sea, his sea is a puddle in the yard, which he protects from drying up so that the birds have something to drink. He has no wife or children, only a female Dandelion who accompanies him every step of the way. Josef secretly loves his beautiful neighbour Anežka and looks forward to Wednesday chess games with his best friend Václav, a charismatic piano tuner who can keep most pianists in tune. Although Josef has made many masterful instruments, he knows that his violin-making skills are still not at their peak. For now, he hesitates to reach for the best wood, which he carefully cherishes in his workshop. After all, he has so much time ahead of him - to make a master violin and to get to know Agnes. But life changes in an instant. A sea of time can suddenly become a mere puddle. With the help of his friends, Josef begins to fulfil all the dreams he no longer wants to put off. And so he finally finds the master violin and the true love of a lifetime.
