Mina has to go out into the world. Together with her little black sheep, who calls herself Wölkchen, the girl follows the course of a stream. On her way, she discovers the magical power of music, goes on a great adventures and, little by little, makes her world a bit friendlier and happier. And when Mina and Wölkchen, after a fight with a dragon, arrive at the wide sea, the two of them experience a little happiness.
