An animated film for children and family audiences, based on the simple, wise, and humorous story by the renowned Polish philosopher Leszek Kołakowski titled Who Would Like to Cheer Up an Unlucky Rhinoceros?

In a nest perched on a tree in the middle of the savannah, an old and wise Marabou stork tries to calm down a bunch of chicks eager for their very first flight. To distract them, he tells them the story of why the Rhinoceros sitting under the tree is crying and has a cold compress on his bottom. It turns out that the Rhinoceros has a very big worry — he desperately wants to fly but doesn’t know how, and he’s too ashamed to admit it. An inquisitive little Sparrow decides to teach him how to fly...
