A fairy tale about an old man with a big white beard who has to design a tapestry woven from the hair of the seven rainbow girls. His work will have to be beautiful enough to save the world.

An allegory to describe the light and fantastic world of an artist, Vittorio Zecchin, of his faith in the discipline of the beauty of manual work: of the glass masters, decorators, mosaicists, embroiderers, lace-makers, engravers, ceramists and weavers, workers in beauty, the beauty that will save the world!
