Summary:
This piece tells the story of Selene and her kite. Selene has been given the kite as a present and wants to take part in a large kite festival which is taking place on the beach the next day. But she can’t wait that long and wants to fly it immediately. Unfortunately she has not reckoned with stormy weather, thunder and lightning. The forces of nature tear the tiny kite away leaving a desolate Selene behind. But not only kites can fly. People can do so too. For they can overcome all barriers and restrictions in their thoughts, their dreams and their fantasies.
Selene flies after the kite in a dream-like fantasy - over bald mountains and deserts into the far east world. At the end Selene awakes from her dreams, the thunderstorm comes to an end and the small kite returns.
