The big, old elephant can’t sleep. Bad memories are gnawing at him. One day he blows some red balloons among them and they fly away, leaving the elephant forgetful. Then a duck enters or rather “sticks onto” his life, bombarding him with questions he can’t answer. Teresina the Duck is determined and convinces him to take a walk to get back in touch with the world. The big animal sets off on an adventure and without knowing it, he will encounter things that have already happened that he has forgotten. It will be difficult for him to defend himself from the dangers, so much so that he ends up in a cage at the zoo. He will discover that memories are necessary, good or bad, and keeping them can be useful in times of need. Teresina, now an inseparable friend, has the right idea at the right moment. What will it be? Some things are discovered by living, others by dreaming or going to the theatre.
