A hand-drawn romantic drama that uses the fragility of glasswork as a metaphor for love and pacifism amid the encroaching darkness of war.

A young glassworker-in-training living with his pacifist father finds his apprenticeship upended by an impending war and the arrival of an army colonel to their seaside town.
