synopsis

In January 2020, Prague and Taipei officially became sister cities, and Taipei gave Prague a gift – a pangolin. This documentary was made before the formal signing of the contract. In the film, the director works to figure out why this particular animal was chosen and paints a portrait of both the pangolin and Taiwan in the process.
