Synopsis
Four red-haired, intensively freckled children live in
an awry, colorful house. Next to them there is an old
neighbor, whose life passion is esthetics: he’s in love
with his wonderful garden and a view at lake from
the window. One day he discovers that this strange
house... moved and uncovered the view on rusty, dirty
factory. He talks to the children, trying to get to know
the story of the house. Children are unwilling to share
a secret. But we see that they treat the house in an
unusual way: they talk to it and they ask it for advice.

Neighbor tries to live his life normally, but then the
house moves again and destroys part of the neighbor’s
garden. He decides to go on a battle. He calls
up the authorities to take care of parentless children.
They are taken away. But their relationship with the
house is stronger than anyone could expect. No wonder
why – it turns out that within the walls lives their
huge, huuuuge mother.
