Ilona is a lively 7-year old girl. On a rainy day she visits her old neighbour, who is a great storyteller. As he tells her a story about legendary Slovenian hero King Matheus, they create their own imaginary world. With her vivid imagination Ilona humorously intertwines the story with the present time, and in the end she discovers the neighbour’s great secret.
