Journey of a boy who wants to be alone, because he is different, and ends up with a true friend. This is the story of Juozapas, a very special boy who has a big secret. His heart is protected by a glass dome and thick armor.

The center of his universe is the bug hotel he built himself in an old manor house and the insects that live there. One day, Rugilė moves to town and turns Juozapas’s life upside down. Thanks to Rugilė, Juozapas overcomes his fears and becomes open to the world.

Friendship works wonders!
