In a very warm and faraway place lives a giraffe who cannot sit and has to stand all the time. She likes to walk, eat leaves and sing, but does not know anyone and feels lonely. So she decides to send a message to the wind.
Fortunately, the letter actually reaches a new friend, an 'inventor' Penguin who dreams of flying. The two thus decide to meet 'halfway'. But what does a giraffe look like? Penguin has never seen one. And what does a Penguin look like? Giraffa doesn't know. All that remains is to imagine his friend.
Thus, through a hilarious correspondence, what emerges is a tender and funny portrayal of the other, allowing them to finally find each other.
